Skirt Runner
A facebook friend of mine posted this and I found this funny:

I think possible bathroom emergencies top my list for sure. I run a lot of my runs on a jogging path that only has access back to my neighborhood once ever 3/4 of a mile or so. And then it is another 1/2 mile to the nearest store that would have a public bathroom like a Starbucks or McDonald's. And there aren't any trees or bushes, and it is always VERY populated. At any given moment, I could be a mile from the nearest bathroom, and I am a slow runner.
Are things on this list things you fret about while running? Anything else you have to add to the list?

My only constant fret is my right knee. It's been holding up quite well lately, something I would have never expected 20 years ago.
9. Sh*tting of the pants. (‘Nuff said.)
I often worry if it's safe to fart, or if it's something more. Also, I run past the beach in the summer, so sometimes there is a little extra baggage flopping around.
Rungry!
No mention of a pack of killer dogs?

Mostly my left shin. It's been fine lately and I'm only running 3 days/week so as to give it adequate recovery time, but there's always that nagging fear in the back of my mind that *this* mile is definitely going to be the one that kicks off the shin splints again and puts me out of commission for a month.
After what happened at the LV Marathon, I fret about forgetting my Epi Pen or my inhaler. And whether I'll have an encounter with a car (this happens more often than the other fret).

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

I worry about mountain lions. . . .

- Sometimes carries a padlock. Excellent device for hurling at cars or smashing a canine's skull if it ever came down to it.
"Faster runners."
- Nope, I worry about the ones who are of similar speed.
"Dying during a race."
-If that happens, worrying stops.

I worry about whether I'll get back in time to get ready for work, and what I have to do in the day. I also worry about running stuff - my knee, my hip, the other hip, my toes (blisters) my chafing, my gait and my posture when I run (Do I look funny?). I worry about the whether, if it's going to rain or not, or if I wore the right clothes. I just worry a lot.

What I might run into or fall into while on the run. And with my running history, I mean that quite literally!

If I run at home I rarely worry about bathroom issues as I know where they all are. Normally I just worry about stomach issues. If pressed for time I worry about getting to do the whole route

I run to get rid of my worries not to pick more up.
You people have issues
