The six grossest things about running

An article that popped up on my facebook feed today.

Have I not been working hard enough?  I've not peed my pants (though I did stop in the middle of a race to poop in a portajohn), vomitted or bled.  I just feel like I'm prepared.

Would love to hear additional things to fear/expect/amuse me. 

I stopped in a port-o-potty at mile 16 of the Disney marathon. It was the most disgusting, vile thing that I have seen. The smell was awful and it was nearly full. Here was the kicker though. There was blood on the back wall. That was an in and out as fast as possible stop and when I got out I nearly threw up.

My nose doesn't smell really well so, I typically have no issue with port-o-potties. As a matter of fact, I kind of enjoy the solitude I feel in one. Not that one though.

I have also had to stop 4 times and find some woods to take care of business. I carry TP on every run now. It's just easier than using leaves.

I really don't typically mind the potties as I feel

that article was, well.... ummm.... gross. 

anyway, before i started using compression tops that are 2 sizes smaller than my regular shirts, i used to have issues with my nipples bleeding from chafing.  i tried a bunch of stuff, glide, vaseline, band-aides etc.   the best thing (before compression) were the kids tatoo band-aids.  the only problem was one day the only ones i could find in the house were my daughters.  yep, princess band-aids.  the kicker, i forgot to take them off and was walking around the locker-room with princess band-aids on my nips.  i was wondering why i got some weird stares that day :)

Princess Nipples!

Thanks, I needed a laugh...

I am new to this forum, but I have a bit of a suggestion for the ladies.  I use a diva cup, just google them, they are wonderful and I have only ever had it fail once, I have been using for over 2 years now.
