12 miles from home. Rained quite a bit last night so the first 3/4 of a mile were very sloggy and muddy. I decided to run up my normal long route which I normally only do on Saturdays and I'm glad I did. A nice challenge for a Friday morning. I plodded up my Veyo hill and continued on. About mile 10 1/2 while going up a hill I felt a twing in my right outer quad. Nothing bad, didn't need to stop or slow down, but I felt it a few times. Very odd as I've never felt that before. I have felt lots of niggles this week though as the 28 mile effort brought out some odd feelings in my legs. With a mile to go the urge to relieve myself got very strong and I had to drop a deuce on the side of the road. It was my last safe place to do that before getting home. It's a nasty job but glad I had my wipes with me.

I noticed after I did...that...the first time, that I actually prefer going outside versus waiting for a bathroom. You can never go back to being a normal person again.

Hahahaha! So true. Stopping on the side of the road is a pretty simple option. I haven't had to do it very often, but 3 times in the past week is a bit much. I'm starting to get a complex.
