One of the first things I do before I start a long run with friends, is apologize in advance for the truckload of snot that my body produces while I run. A month or so ago, I read that this problem of mine has a name. Rhino something. It has to do with winter allergies. I've never had allergies, but yet I'm led to believe that on a 15 degree day I develop them? I'm skeptical. I'm not a doctor, although...I do drink Dr. Pepper which counts for something at the end of the day.
Anyhow, I know this is going to sound terrible and it's somewhat of a confession but I use running as a right of passage to be gross. I don't want to but I do. The worst part is that sometimes my brain has a problem remembering if we're in the throws of mile 9 OR if we're sitting at a nice Italian restaurant.
This is a true story from 3 nights ago. In the nice Italian restaurant.
Me - Just polishing off some chicken carbonara, I wash it down with Dr. Pepper. I'm an athlete and I'm treating myself to soda.
Me - 5 seconds later - BURP. "Did you hear that?" I ask my husband. Giggle. I look over at him.
Husband - Horrified look. Big eyes that read "unacceptable". He then points to a partition and there are people on the other side of us. Presumably not expecting me or my nasty running manners.
Me - "Gosh, I hope they're done eating"
Husband - "Because that makes it ok??"
Please tell me this has happened to you???
Hilarious. I can't think of a particular instance, but, in general, mike finds me embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSnot rockets are my specialty :)) I love the fact that we as athletes have the given right to these privileges..LOL
ReplyDeleteOh gosh you crack me up. I burp out loud without even realizing it. It is ok right? Ha!
ReplyDeleteLOL...I am constantly spitting during runs and actually spit on someone's shoes once...I was mortified! Now I double check my surroundings before spitting :)
ReplyDeletehaha, good times! They probably thought it was your husband anyways! :)
ReplyDeleteI guess my husband doesn't know how lucky he has it that I just embarrass him by wearing compression gear in public. :)
ReplyDeleteI once had really bad gas at the airport and my husband kept thinking it was the old guy in front of us, till we got in our car and I couldn't hold it in anymore, he about disowned me ~ oops
ReplyDeleteHilarious. My husband is big on manners so I try to watch my p's and q's. It's annoying sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you are cracking me up this week!
ReplyDeleteI fart when I run. Before being injured I was running 95% outside so it wasn't a problem until I did a 2 mile TM run at my old gym. I forgot where I was & I farted. No one heard it but well, it was a stinker. Oh well. At least I didn't shit my pants.
BTW I tagged you in the 11 post :-)
i'm cracking up at this post!! my husband does that crap to me all the time! or he'll fart and blame me.
ReplyDeleteLOL!... that is awesome
