Anyone who has ever run a long distance can verify that every once in a while you have to go #2 and the most unfortunate thing is that most of the time there is no bathroom for miles. I have had my fare share of close calls but just last week during a 12 miler I had an incident that I am not proud of.....nonetheless I am happy to share my mishap with all of you!!
I was around mile 9 and heading back to base when I finally had to stop to let the feeling of an eminent bowel movement pass me by.....but my body decided that I waited long enough!!! To make a long story short I had to waddle to the side of the road, hide in the shadows and empty myself. Of course, I don't carry toilet paper with me...but maybe I should....anyway, I had to run a mile before I got to a bathroom and was able to clean myself up. The damage wasn't as bad as I thought so don't get too grossed out, but just know that if you have aspirations to run long distance....you will one day have your own story to tell. Evan has shared similar experiences and can vouch for my "mishap".
I hope everyone enjoyed my beautiful story....oh yeah...I took a picture of my wonderful experience!
