So close to the no-thigh-touch!

I'm a runner and for as long as I've been running I have had to wear knee-length running pants even in the summer because my thighs touch when I run. This is ok over a couple miles, but after 5 miles and 10 miles it's excruciating. I have been dreaming of the day when I can wear a pair of Nike running shorts and hit the road without even thinking twice about it. I am literally millimeters away from my goal! Not sure how many pounds off it will take to get me there since unfortunately we can't will our bodies to lose weight precisely where we want, but it's within reach. I don't care if it's the middle of winter, I'll be in those Nike shorts celebrating pain-free!
