    i agree with the comments about old navy & kohl's. i'd also suggest checking out places like a t.j. maxx or marshall's (good stuff, cheap!).

    one thing that i have learned with my running gear is that most items that i have don't come with a draw string at the waist (i tend to opt for running tights/capris). as you are becoming more fit & loosing weight a draw string can be a real savior - i absolutely hate having to hike up my pants as i'm running & a draw string saves you from that annoyance quite nicely.

    another suggestion is to go with pants that are a little snug - but not uncomfortably so, of course. two things: 1) you are going to loose inches over the course of your training so you want your gear to last for more than a few months; and 2) pants that are a little bit too big can lead to chaffing.

    good luck on your race!

    JcPenney carries the Xersion line of activewear!! I promise, I never will wear anything else... until I get skinny. The pants are super flattering and they are true-to-size. Check it out.. you will not be disappointed.
