My Pee Tree

I know it's really kind of gross to talk about, but for some reason...when I find myself going out on night runs that go more than 4 miles, I always have to go pee right in the middle of the damn thing. I'm fine with this really, I'm sure I could hold it but if I have a chance to download my urine on my run without being arrested, I'm going to do so dammit.

So there's this one spot that I prefer to take care of business. Thankfully by the time I reach that point it's really late (talking almost 2300), so there aren't any prying eyes. I just shut the headlamp off and commence to nature.

It's one of those things that we runners don't talk about too often, but I've noticed that there's a bit of decorum when it comes to mid-run pit stops.

1) Always out of the way, out of sight

2) Keep comments to yourself

3) No eye contact

At least that's how I see things, how do you handle the sudden urge?
