Runner's Trots

Today’s Route: McDonald’s on highway 60 – to OMU plant and back
Distance: 3.0 miles

Ok, this should be a reminder, NO GRAPES THE NIGHT BEFORE A RUN! I know I have to be careful about what I eat the night before I go running, and I especially can’t eat anything within a few hours of going running. Well Jojo made an awesome dinner last night, consisting mostly of roughage, and I paid for it this morning. I had a bad case of “runner’s trots”. It was so bad, I almost had to stop and walk just to make sure I didn’t have an accident. Luckily, it didn’t hit me until about a mile from the end, and I was able to contain it most of the way. But then when McDonald’s was in view, it was almost too much to bear. I had to use their facilities after our run, because I couldn’t make it home in my delicate condition. Anyway, aside from that, the run was pretty easy. I don’t really like that route though. The road is rough, there is a lot of debris everywhere, and I don’t think Pam and Kevin like it that much either. They just did it because they knew I’d moved back in with Jojo and because it was closer to me. They’re just good people like that. On a funny note, me and Pam were dressed exactly the same this morning. Dark pants and the bright green OMU Power Run long-sleeved t-shirt. Overall, a good run!
