My race on Sunday was a bit of a problem for me as I should have gotten out of the corral to take care of business. But I thought it was too late and ran for over 2 hours needing to go. It was awful, but thankfully a port potty with tissue was available and made me feel so much better. So exciting that you signed up for Panama City with some of the Weekly Wrap girls. I am gonna say it right now that I am a bit jealous. I know you will all have a blast!Two Runners Travel https://www.blogger.com/profile/10446814348862304394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-5739852930408268002016-09-25T09:14:48.460-05:002016-09-25T09:14:48.460-05:00Oh Wendy, the stories we runners have about Porta-...Oh Wendy, the stories we runners have about Porta-pots!!!

It surprises me more when runners don't have the experience of having to go in a portapotty or the woods.
