    I have this same problem because all the new workout shorts I have the stupid single pull string not to kind the with a string that can be tied....freakin annoying!

    I just thought of something, I can probably cut the loop in the middle and tie it together.....hmmmm. I'll let you know if that works.

    :drinker: :laugh: :laugh:

    An additional bonus: if the authorities see her, she'll get a chance to work on her speed/pace, too!

    Sorry, but you probably need new pants! Maybe you could go for those legging-type running pants (sorry, don't know what they're called)....if they're form fitting it would seem they would probably stay fitting for longer than just say, shorts or track pants.

    Ha, I had the same problem today. Warmup run on the dreadmill, pants (which seem pretty tight until I run) were sliding down constantly. I was hitching up my pants the whole run...I'm sure I looked pretty retarded to the elliptical people behind me :blushing:

    1. belt
    2. duct tape
    3. suspenders
    4. sew the waist band tighter

    Personally, I use a belt to hold my pants up... Then again, shorts really are not that expensive... and you will feel a LOT better in clothes that fit.

    As great of an idea this is... I only run in the middle of the day, usually during the lunch-time rush... not gonna happen lol

    That's the thing though... they are legging style running pants. The only thing is I bought them 3 months ago and had only worn them once or twice before I went out for a run the other day.. I have another pair that I'm hoping haven't gotten too big yet.

    I might actually try shrinking my pants-- since it's all spandex to it might shrink a bit.

    Thrift stores are FULL of barely worn athletic wear. Some people join a gym, buy the clothes, never go, then throw out the clothes because they fell guilty every time they see them. Or they do go, and shrink out of their clothes quickly, and need new ones because they don't want them falling down.

    Depending on how big they are: gather and secure with a cloth hair band, use a large safety pin with the pin sticking out so you don't get poked, or tie a knot in them at the waist like the cleaning ladies do with trash bags so they dont fall into the trash can.
