A bit TMI, but Am I the only one who has to pee as soon as I'm out the door? (Read 922 times)

I'm usually okay on outside runs, but I do tend to "go" a zillion times before leaving just in case. I notice it more often on the TM. I think my innards get spoiled and know I can stop any time. I find pre-run coffee helps with the um, mud.

Really? That's twice today I received advice to drink coffee. Although this one might be more helpful! The volunteer at my blood donation said if you have coffee beforehand it makes you donate faster. Not too sure about that.

I just thought we should all take a moment to think about Kara Goucher. Plus, she is holding up a Number 1, which is pertinent to the thread topic.

And I was looking at her legs and thought I saw an ever so faint streak of fluid running down the front .... pee-pee #1??

pee pee = number 1 poo poo = number 2

Now that's what I'm talking about. Patient. Supportive. Informative.

Nope - me too (moreso for car trips than running, though) and I blame Mom. Having four kids, she learned quickly that before we all went anywhere the routine was Mom: "Now, before we leave, does anyone have to use the bathroom?" Us: "No, Mom" Mom: "Well, you better go in and try anyway, because we are not stopping." us: "O,K" My body is now as conditioned to bathroom before a car ride as Pavlov's dog was to that bell. Thanks, Mom.

That'a my mom, too!!! We could be going down to the pizza place to pick up a pie, all of which would take 10 minutes. She has to go. Just in case some epic world even would happen that anhialated (spelling) all bathrooms.

No, but if I run in the morning, I pretty much have to blow mud about 1.5 miles in every time.

This is really funny - and SO SO True - if I go in the early AM for a run (just after I have my coffee) I normally swing back by the house after 1.5 to 2...just in case......And almost alway have to stop in and take care of business. Now to answer the real question........YES.........I can go a couple of times just before I go out and almost always feel like it need to again.......I agree with earlier comments...that my feet must send some kiind of a signal to my bladder.........cause this almost never fails...... And its usually worse for a race....
