my perfect shorts...at last!

Dudes - this discussion probably won't interest you. Well, maybe it will because it is all about women's butts. Just not in a sexy way.

Running shorts have not been my friend as of late.

I love wearing shorts, but lately, it seems like their lengths have been creeping up. A 3" inseam is fine if you are twenty years old and have tiny quads and no butt, but this does not describe me.  While I wear a size small shirt in most clothing lines, I have to go to a medium size for my bottoms just to feel like I am covered up. For whatever reason, running shorts are rarely built for women with real backsides, and I struggle to find a pair that I am comfortable wearing.

So I was very excited to see that Brooks is offering a cute new short this spring with a 5" inseam. My experience so far has been that a longer inseam usually means a better fitting short for me. I ordered a pair in black, and here are the results:

Long enough to hit at a more flattering point of the thigh

I know it isn't earth shaking news, but I for one am glad that I finally found some shorts I am excited to wear. Now if spring would just come...
