      What race are you running?

      Clearwater distance classic Sunday (just doing the full, not the ultra 50k). Weather is looking promising, so hoping I'll crack the 3:45 mark. Series (full/half/5 mile/5k walk) has 1700 participants, but suspect only about 800 of us are doing the full.

      Had to go out of town unexpectedly for a family emergency, but I managed one run during my time there. There's a lake in a beautiful park in my hometown, so I drove down and ran there. Had the whole place to myself in the morning...just me and the ducks, swans and geese. :smile:

      Yesterday was an "I just don't feel like it" kind of day, but I did get a short 3 miler in. It was cold and rainy...and about a mile in I suddenly had to poop. So...I cut my planned 4+ mile run a little short. I'm still surprised at how much influence bathroom needs have on running. I can't count the times I've had to pee in the woods, but I draw the line at #2.

      I usually end my runs at the gym, so I made up for the lost distance with an extra-long cruise on the stationary bike...AFTER taking care of necessary business of course.

      01/01/2015 - 5.02 Miles - Cumulative 5.02 Miles
      01/04/2015 - 6.53 Miles - Cumulative 11.55 Miles
      01/06/2015 - 6.70 Miles - Cumulative 18.25 Miles
      01/08/2015 - 4.50 Miles - Cumulative 22.75 Miles (Brrrrr...it was cold!)
      01/11/2015 - 7.35 Miles - Cumulative 30.10 Miles (Big dog scared the crap out of me)
      01/13/2015 - 7.55 Miles - Cumulative 37.65 Miles (New route with actual hills)
      01/16/2015 - 3.26 Miles - Cumulative 40.91 Miles


      GOAL: 75 Miles

      I'm just starting out after a 6 month hiatus. I'm getting warmed up. All runs done on treadmill. I'm not tough enough to run in Michigan's brutal winter temperatures.

      Jan 13th - 2 miles
      Jan 15th - 3.2 miles

      My ticker isn't cooperating :( . It should read 5.2 miles done; 19.8 to go.

      As someone who spends a fair amount of time in the woods thank you for this :blush: I'll never get used to running around a bend only to encounter some man relieving himself. :astonished: Please, 10ft off the trail folks.

      I'm glad I'm not alone in this! :p

      I actually plan a great deal of my routes as circuits around blocks with stores with public restrooms on the corner. This way I only have a mile or two max between areas I can make a stop at. Of course, for trail runs that is not an option.

      My biggest fear is a race with insufficient restrooms along the route. Hasn't happened yet. Yet being the key word...

      Thanks so much :smile: It was the perfect break from the hospital room.

      Back in the desert now and (hopefully) regular schedule.

      One of the worst feelings in the world is being at the turn-around point in the run and having the "urge". But that really builds the glutes, huh?

      Ran 3 miles in the am yesterday and then ended up running 4 more in the evening with my mom. Brings me to 70.5miles for the month (100 mi goal)

      And I agree with all the bathroom talk! I know where every public bathroom is around my town (and the hours they are open). :p
