Picture it: You’re on mile 18. You can’t even feel your limbs anymore. You know you’ve got to push to make it to the end. One of the only things keeping you going is the roar of the crowd, the colorful signs of encouragement, and the look of pure horror on people’s faces as you lose control of your bowels in the middle of the course.
Wait — that’s not how your marathon went. You kept it together and you crossed the finish line, and then you took a trip to the restroom. And you did it all thanks to one awesome kid holding the perfect sign as you ran by.
Yes, everyone poops, but here’s the thing, no one should poop in the middle of a running race, no matter how much they don’t want to take a break.
