Sigh, I need better shorts. Ones with better pockets.
As far as wardrobe malfunctions go, it was pretty tame. No nudie flashes. No embarrassing falls in front of a traffic light of cars. I didn’t even know about it until I got home again.
But it could have been disasterous.
I usually run in leggings. Depending which ones, they go to just below my knee or right to my ankles. Some have pockets on the back that I rarely use. They all have long pockets on at least one leg. Perfect for my phone, and keys, gels, and tissues. Running works well to clear sinuses. Gross, but effective.
Tonight I chose to run in shorts. They only have one pocket. It’s at the back; exactly the kind of pocket I don’t use in my leggings.
The wardrobe malfunction? My phone bumped against my keys somehow later in the run and started pocket dialling. Nothing came through my headphones. I was still singing along to Popular.
I’m thankful my phone called my husband. There are numbers there, both in Australia and international, that I never want to dial. Some are people from past lives I have no interesting in binging to my now. Some are professional contacts.
Want to know which shorts to avoid? Thankfully ASICS don’t make them anymore. Here are their new ones, a little shorter and with useful pockets.
Maybe I need to order a pair.
