A sock works in a pinch. Desperate times call for desperate measures...You crap in your sock? Do you take it with you?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Sock, that would have been a good idea. I found a smooth looking rock.
E.J.Greater Lowell Road RunnersCry havoc and let slip the dawgs of war!May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.
I just want to chime in with my agreement about BURYING! I've just started backpacking a little bit and it's always heavily emphasized that you get at least a hundred feet away from the trail, and that you definitely bury your business. Not to mention that you don't go near running water, but that's not really relevant in urban environments. Anyways, if burying is important out in the wilderness I'd think it's even more important closer to civilization.

What is the best OBMPP for my next marathon?
My buddy used his sock right before he had to take a pt test...which is why we do this at 5 in the morning when no one is around ha ha...
Lol. Reminds me of a Navy PT test I took 2 years ago... Only 2 folks were ahead of me, and one of them suddenly made a 90 degree left turn and made a B-line off the paved trail and into the woods. I said "where are you going?, you all right?" No response and he disappeared into the woods. (Not quite dark, but very low morning light)
After I finished, he came through the line a couple minutes behind me. They announced his time as he came across the line and they said "good time"! His reply was "Hell yeah, especially since I had to stop to take a shit during the run!" --- They laughed, but at first they thought he was joking.

You wouldn't have been very high on my "who jump-started the OBMPP thread" suspects list. Has it really been FIVE years? Wow, does time fly. To answer your question, OBMPP is the best, because by definition it is optimal. The challenge is, which pace is your OBMPP? That's the stress inducing question du jour.
Choose wisely.

Reading old threads is good fun. I've only been here 4 years so there's still lots to catch up on.
Regarding OBMPP, I ran 16 miles of the Boston marathon seeking that fine line this spring. I wish I had found the thread earlier!
