- run 10.57 km in 56:58
not too hot but very humid, went out right after a thunderstorm. also, had to poop really bad for about 15 minutes. tried to hold it in but i was at the track so at the ~35' mark i went into the little clubhouse and took a shit. first time i've ever done paused a run to do that, i think. i don't usually have to poop at this time of day. weird.
lol damn you're lucky, this being the first time.
i've had to pause like 100+ runs. :<
whoa, seriously?
yup. with nerves, sometimes it shuts me down until i start running. so for races, i'll go before & also have to go after i jog around a few miles. happens on training runs occasionally. has happened alot when i'm doing fast training runs. have to run around for a bit, go, and then i can get on with it.
i had to poop during my 5k PR (in a race) .. my last mile (fastest ever third mile in a 5k, like 5:28) happened because I was literally running to the bathroom. i still remember it well. i had to go so bad that i just turned it up and tried to get there as fast as possible. lmfao.
for that ultra i did, i held a pee for about 4 hours. by the end, i didn't have to pee anymore. either it "evaporated" or i pee'd myself. i've always felt like my body somehow 'reused those fluids' lmao. i didn't drink in that race until 4.5 hours.. so maybe my body somehow recycled it. was kinda odd. but ya it sucked. i went before, but literally a few minutes after starting the race, had to go again.. and i just held it, didn't want to stop running at all.
i remember "blogging" about both of those, and this one: one of the craziest was, i had to poop so bad (had to for 30 min driving up, thought i was toast) and this naples half marathon was about to start, so i just said fu*k it and started the race. within minutes it disappeared. it was magic.
the one year i did cross country in high school i remember one race where i was turtling for like half the time. it sucked so much. i'm pretty religious about going to the bathroom right before i head out the door, so generally don't even have to pee on runs.
ya turtling is torture lol.
- food poisoning
FAWK.. :<
