Hey, you brought up an interesting question. What happens when you have to go to the bathroom during a marathon, or a half marathon? My sister dated a runner briefly and he said you just pee while you run. (I just read your TMI post and I’ll throw that disclaimer right back at ya.)
I’m not talking about a bm, I’m talking liquid. Have you ever done that and is that standard operating procedure? Just curious.
I typically try to get everything out before the race (I eat about 2 hours before and stop drinking at least a half hour before). However, inevitably I’ll need to take a pee break during the race. Since I’m never trying for an official time I just stop at a port-o-potty along the way (most races will have them). But it does suck to pick one with a long line!
If I ever do decide to try to qualify for Boston, then I’ll need to strategize a bit (I’ll probably just work up to a pace that will allow for at least one pee break; peeing while you run is just GROSS)! 🙂

I love the cartoons, I’d nick the idea if I was even half talented.
