After all the times I've read that advice on here and laughed it off, I found myself today in a situation where, at the end of my run, I SPRINTED to the nearest park restroom, did my thing, only to find... no toilet paper. Dead

lesson immediately learned! Big grin

BRING YOUR OWN TOILET PAPER!

That is why I developed what I call the "Runner's S**t Kit™." My waist-pack for most runs contains: 1) Toilet Paper 2) latex gloves 3) a few diaper wipes 4) Large Zip lock bag for clean-up (of paper products). Look for soon at a running store near you.

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Use a sleeve. I have a few t-shirts that are missing parts for that reason.

In a pinch, a sock will work.

I'm sorry, and no offense is meant by this statement.... But is no one else utterly amused by the irony of this story being posted by someone with "-poo" in her screen name?!?!?!

lol was the first thought after reading the post.

As they say: "There's those that have, and those that will..." and BTW:

That is why I developed what I call the "Runner's S**t Kit™." My waist-pack for most runs contains: 1) Toilet Paper 2) latex gloves 3) a few diaper wipes 4) Large Zip lock bag for clean-up (of paper products).

I might add, 5) hand sanitizer. For the post-race food, if you don't have the latex gloves (or even if you do)
