You know I thought City Island would be hopping due to that Lucky Charm 5k/10k but apparently it didn't start there. I just figured by now there would be open bathrooms but clearly I was wrong. :)<br /><br />Yes I am running the 10 miler- never did it before.

We usually park somewhere in Camp Hill and run to City island. Making the West shore Farmer's market our half point for any extra bathroom breaks. <br /><br />You are running the Capitol 10 miler? I'm green with Envy! I considered running that race, but had some scheduling conflicts, and will have to skip it *Again* this year. <br />Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110855725544210793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-27012669714350479762016-03-21T05:42:55.267-04:002016-03-21T05:42:55.267-04:00I suppose to only upside to that is that runners U...I suppose to only upside to that is that runners UNDERSTAND and I am sure those guys have all been there!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-19003573536834311872016-03-21T05:42:21.947-04:002016-03-21T05:42:21.947-04:00lol thank you :) I do try to be funny so I am glad...lol thank you :) I do try to be funny so I am glad it comes off that way! :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-73120909007643163802016-03-20T22:06:42.130-04:002016-03-20T22:06:42.130-04:00Way to push through and get that sucker done!

You know I grew up doing theater and the superstition was that a bad dress rehearsal meant a really good opening night. We shall see. That makes sense that they would like the port o johns for that reason. I am sure they didn't lock them because of ME. I just am scared someday I will get cited for public urination!!! I feel like if you are in running clothes you should be immune from such a citation.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-71772012533041742142016-03-20T18:36:00.834-04:002016-03-20T18:36:00.834-04:00Not many guys can wear a speedo.

I HATE when the bathrooms are all locked. I've dealt with a locked port-john before, too. I think they lock them so vagrants can't sleep in them or something?!

Knowing you tackled it twice on a tough training day is going to be such a mental boost during the race! <br /><br />I've been there before, where it seems like every single bathroom in the world is closed, it's the worst. I honestly don't think anything stresses me out more than just thinking about having to go to the bathroom when there are none (and it's light out). That's like 80% of the reason that I run at night, because all the bathrooms at the beach are open for business! haha<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179559611541634740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-34352487090652642032016-03-20T09:44:49.389-04:002016-03-20T09:44:49.389-04:00That is sad that there are people that need to sle...That is sad that there are people that need to sleep in port o johns. :(<br /><br />If I am not in my neighborhood, I either need to run somewhere where there are bathrooms or somewhere that is NOT residential with lots of woods so I can go whenever I want.

When I lived in Baltimore city and went running around Patterson Park and the harbor I noticed they locked alot of the porto potties up, probably because they didnt want people sleeping in them or something. But I always have to pee right before I start running, which is one of the reasons why I hate driving somewhere to run! But that was very smart to run this on part of the course- you are going to be SO ready for your race!Lisa @ Running Out Of Winehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182384531758005079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-52903701556583505522016-03-20T08:36:35.336-04:002016-03-20T08:36:35.336-04:00Thanks Wendy!
