to spit or not to spit?? (Read 898 times)

It was a training run, not a race.

This is very entertaining. I am trying to remember the last time I actually saw a woman spit and it reminds me of the scene in The Sandlot where all the boys are just sitting there chewing their gum and spitting. You just don't see women doing it much. I was told as a young boy not to spit, and of course did it anyway, especially while on a baseball field. Something about being on a ball field that makes spitting come naturally, just like kicking dirt and grabbing your crotch.

I felt so bad for a girl who ran the last 10k I did (in Dec). She was so close to finishing and at the point where they had it taped off like a chute to direct us to a track to finish up on, she had to stop and throw up right there... with no way out of the chute she just let it go. Runners had to be careful not to trip over her, or knock her over. The end result was something much worse than spit that everyone behind her had to be sure to avoid.
