🎶Mama don't let your babies grow up to be runners🎶

A friend sent me this link last week and said she thought of me 😳....ok more than a few of the points are me 😂 I learned to pee on the trails last week though without it running down my leg, Yippee! Oops TMI 😜

😂😂😂

[Granspeed Graduate10]

🤣🤣 Ooops. Can feel myself on the slippery slope, and I’m still close to the “innocent 5K”. But I have socks. And shoes. And a funny hat. Is all the rest of that in my future...? 😄 Oh well. It’s done now. Too late for the warnings. 💕

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Yup 😂. It's a slippery slope....

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Brilliant sask 😂

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Haha. Itchin' to get the next fix in. Yup! That's me!

[Katnap Graduate10]

TMI! But definitely a useful skill. 😀😅😂🤣

[Lavender1962 Graduate10]

Love it! 💕 Some of those behaviours seem familiar. But it keeps playing in my head...

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Lavender1962]

I know, I've been humming the tune all morning 😂

[Joy57 Graduate10]

Love this Sask!

[CrimsonMama]

Haha that was funny! And most of those points are a plus for me! Who doesn't enjoy the opportunity to buy and wear more shoes? Even if its trainers? (Currently excitedly waiting for my next pair!).

And I wish I COULD convert my kids to running! But no luck there! MY 7 yr old likes walking with me but complains I walk too fast as it is! And my 13 yr old lives in her PJs and sleeps in until 1-2pm on no school days.

BUT at least they have seen what I do and how much weight I've lost and know its an option for the future if they choose!

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to CrimsonMama]

I hear you! I would love my family to run with me. My husband and son came out to run me in for the last 600 m of an 18k training run a few weeks ago and my son whined the whole time huffing and puffing saying that is the furthest he has ran all summer. So sad. Darn video games 😠

[CrimsonMama in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Well I notice they can run when they want to! Like if they were playing tag with their friends! I guess its the mental "running for the sake of running" that is boring for them! Lol

[Goslow]

Love it ! 😂😂

[Hidden]

Very good!! 😂

[Scampiedoodle Graduate10]

😂😂😂 brilliant just brilliant!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate10]

🤣🤣🤣 thankfully I don't pay entry fees so don't have to pay for it. I'm only up at dawn for work so I'm not too bad.... yet!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

That's sooo funny 😂😂 .... and true!

[Couchpotato2]

Haha, great lyrics! And well done on your peeing improvment

[Couchpotato2 in reply to Couchpotato2]

although in the song they do just "pee down their legs"

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

Ya, I can't do that 😳 (I am a lady...ya right 😂). But a trail running book I'm reading explained how to pee while out on the trails without dropping your shorts provided you're wearing the right kind of shorts. I didn't think it would work and would end up like the song, but nope, it actually worked. I'm hoping to not have to do it often, but nice to know I can if needed 😆

[Couchpotato2 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Interesting... i assume it’s moving everything to one side? I’m quite intrigued.

Feel free to share on pm if you want. I’ve had to go to the bushes ones before during anrun. So much better after!

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to Couchpotato2]

Yup, you got it. You need to be wearing the shorts with the bikini style liner not the longer Lycra shorts and pull everything to the side. I was very surprised it worked and wonder why I never though about doing that before (too scared to pee on myself, I guess, but this time I was at the beginning of a long run and it was getting uncomfortable. I figured the worse case scenario was I pee on myself and use part of my water to wash it away. No water needed 😂. I felt much better and had a great run after! I hope to never have to go #2 but they talk about that as well. Essentially, go off trail, dig a hole using the heel of your shoe, cover up your deposit afterwards and pack out any tissue used in the baggie that they recommend you carry some tissue in anyways 🤢. Glad to know what to do, but never want to do it.

[Couchpotato2 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks! Useful info,’hope only to have to use the first half...

[Run46 Graduate10]

😂 😂and most if it true...would still love it if my baby (son, 20) turned out to be a runner 👍😀

[Decker]

Hahaha so much truth in there...could’ve done without that chafing pic tho...ouch!

[Franglaise Graduate10]

Brilliant...i find the odd wild we liberating...never hope to need to dig a hole though.

I think im chipping,away at my babies to get them to run....purely guilt tripping them and shaming them into it.

[TailChaser Graduate10]

😂😂 It would be much easier if after 5k it was actually ‘downhill all the way’! 😀

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]
