It's cool because we are all doing it at the same time and we know it! I am sure I can't do it while running or biking, to much concentration needed.

I was both jealous and mortified. I'm thinking that deserved a kick in the nuts but I wish I could pee while running. I'm not a multitasker like that.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202356074707159805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-66755390355194399942012-05-15T22:38:32.293-07:002012-05-15T22:38:32.293-07:00It really depends on how much I think I am going t...It really depends on how much I think I am going to pee. I really don't want to be running with shoes and socks full of pee. But I have peed in my pants when in a race just enough to relieve the discomfort :P Oh, and on long downhills...I can't NOT pee.

There was no way I could hold it any longer. I don't think anyone noticed, but it was a drag as I didn't have a change of clothes in the car. Darn! There must be something linked to really exerting yourself in a run and not being able to hold it. Maybe this only happens to runners over 40!Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161923765108891611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-6148214302548140182012-05-15T12:14:07.960-07:002012-05-15T12:14:07.960-07:00Totally true.

I had to toss my shoes from my last half (due to the smell after they dried) since I basically had pee leaking all the way down both legs and into both shoes. It got a bit squishy, no blisters though. Of course, it was only the last 2 miles...luckily! All I have to say is I am thankful for running skirts and clear pee. No one knew, except my friend who ran with me as I gave her the full narration as it happened.Tracynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-58471419050920416202012-05-14T20:45:02.419-07:002012-05-14T20:45:02.419-07:00I had to pee really bad during my half the other w...I had to pee really bad during my half the other week.

Then there are situations where there isn't really any alternative, and I guess you live with it. But if there's a port-potty there I'll use it and I don't care about the couple minutes it takes. Or out in the boonies there are any number of thirsty bushes. If you're going fast enough, aren't your socks going to be wet from sweat already?

Knowing that gravity will draw the pee down where the feet reside, I can only assume that it would end up in the shoes. Seems like an awful lot of trouble when you could just find a bush somewhere...

Back in HS, I'm sure I peed myself at least a little each race. One time it was raining heavily and I had just finished pushing too hard up a hill. As I started to lose the contents of my stomach, the pee just gushed out. Fortunately, it was pouring. Unfortunately, I did not regain control of my tummy for the rest of the race. I think doing something gross while running is part of some unwritten initiation we all must go through.ConcreteNCoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401409370741067947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-28145057991277694552012-05-14T15:30:26.448-07:002012-05-14T15:30:26.448-07:00Wow!

There was a line at the first porta-potties, so I planned to wait until the second set, but they weren't there! Finally I followed after two other runners and darted around a clump of trees and squatted. I didn't drop my drawers, just pulled things over to the side, so at least I didn't flash anyone. I've never just gone while running or biking though. I'm not fast enough at either to make it worthwhile.dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022522091692097344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-76897223298584622742012-05-14T11:28:21.685-07:002012-05-14T11:28:21.685-07:00During my last race I got so excited when I happen...During my last race I got so excited when I happened to see a bystander who was a friend I hadn't seen in about 10 years.
