I'm right there with you on this one. I can't stop eating garlic, so now I just keep a small ziplock of Tums in the pouch of my water bottle. |

| On a long run no matter how badly you have to take a 'number two', avoid the poison ivy. |

HAD to go there, so I deserved what I got.
Worked out quite well for Bob Kempainen, though. I think he put more effort into his training than these folks.

Get lost running...
In a foreign country...
where you don't speak the language...
and don't know how to get back to your hotel 
Did that twice last year.
Time for a GPS watch, maybe? |

Oh ab-so-lute-ly! So there I am, in the dark a.m. hours, about 2 miles from home, no cell phone, and thinking: "@$%*! Now what?!?"
I also like the comments about cars stopping for you and people walking 3 abreast giving up an inch of sidewalk. I just sort of run right through them, when I'm feeling mean.  |

I remember one out-and-back ten miler where there was a Krispy Kreme, coincidentally, at the five mile turn-around point. I just ate one though.
Anyhow, to add to the list...
Get bit by a dog.
Get chased by a territorial free range cow.

Actually, eating garlic before has it's benefits. I ran with buddy of mine one hot summer morning, the day after a garlic fest for dinner. We ran trails, and the black flies were out in force. Well, strangely enough, they were eating my buddy alive, yet none of them came near me cuz I reeked so badly of garlic.
