Why...

[Arrietty]

aren't there loos every 500m or so EVERYWHERE??!!!

Did my warm up walk this morning only to have to turn round and run home!!

Luckily I made it out again straight afterwards and started again but what a nuisance!!!!!

[Steve_L Graduate]

Tsk tsk...... you really need to go to the loo at least three times before going for a run, even if you only squeeze a tiny drop out!

[Arrietty Graduate in reply to Steve_L]

Hahaaa!! I did try, honest!!!

[poppypug Graduate]

Oh Arri !

I do sympathise xxx I have this written on my faffidge list at least 3 times to do before a run xx

[Arrietty Graduate in reply to poppypug]

I never like to be far from a loo at the best of times ;o)

Ha I found an extra public loo on one of my 10k routes this morning - I was somewhat disproportionately pleased!

[Arrietty Graduate in reply to roseabi]

A very good find!! The only ones I can include in my route cost 20p which I never remember to take with me!

Having had an operation down below in January I was left rather incontinent with a tendency not to know when I need to go, and a "NOW imperative from my body when it bothers to tell me: I share your pain at the lack of loos. And at my mother-in-law's recently, running along the sea front there were loos, but they were all locked at 6am in the morning -boo! They were just mocking me.

However, many pelvic floor exercises later, and with the weight loss and fitness gained and improvement in my state of mind (the latter 3 all gifts of C25K) I have much less of an issue - still not perfect (sneezing can be a problem) and incapable of sitting on a bike yet, either, but so improved. I guess less fat inside provides more room for bladder expansion.

Well done with persevering, and good luck with getting out there and making it through with no breaks!
