I spit when I run – it’s either spit or not breathe. I also blow snot out of the sides of my nostrils and have extremely bad coffee breath. Perhaps, now that also I stink of urine, I should go for a few more bad habits – like belching, farting and smoking while I run. BECAUSE I WANT THEM ALL.

I have the snot blowing, coffee breath and gas passing perfected. I’m not too keen on picking up on the smoking and urinating, although as a runner the words “never” or “can’t” are not part of my vocabulary
If you manage to figure out how to smoke while your run, shoot me an email. I’ve got everything else covered.
Aw, Soooze, you sound so down these days. What’s the matter?
Probably not a good idea to smoke while you run… unless you are just that fast.
I don’t think there are many non-runners out there who are ready for the types of things runners do while we run….
I burp all the time when I run, but I’ve held out on farting when I run….too dangerous, if you ask me. Sometimes, you just never know what may be coming… eeek!!!
Ok – so here’s the deal Susan – when I am in the Dallas area and meet up with you to go for a run – make sure your aim is good and you aim in the opposite direction of where I am. All will be good.
Com’on Susan that is normal, but smoking
I know you are trying to tell us you are angry but you can’t avoid to be so funny.
Thanks for teaching me new vocabulary, words for my day, spit, snot, belch, farting
i’d add — for you — wiping your nose on your hand, arm, or sleeve.
THAT’S always attractive too.
oh, and if something gets reallly stuck on a hand, that’s what your shorts are for…
And I forgot! I love your race photos!!
Admit it, you already belch and fart while running (and even while not running!). The only thing to add is smoking.
LOL! I bet you always have plenty of space at the race starting line
Runners do know how to get it out of their systems when they are out there. That’s part of the whole bonding experience.
You forgot to add scratching yourself
Hey, today while running, I almost aspirated on my own phlegm. Now, don’t you feel NORMAL?
Oh, and I had a gaggle of geese hissing at me too! But, the best part of my run was when the wind started to blow… and the tiny, golden leaves on the Ash trees would go a’swirlin… and I felt as if I was running in a giant, golden-leaved-filled snow globe.
Frickin’ amazing… all things considered! Hugs, -janie
I took a tissue once to clean up the snot while I ran. At the end of ten miles, I had little pieces of tissue dotted all over my sweaty, snotty face. Such a vision:)
yup, it’s all part of the gig. hell, i only run so i can do those things without worrying about offending someone. whether it’s the snot rocket, the burp or the fart, make sure you practice your aim.
i can’t fart while i run. i try. i mean, c’mon 3+ hours and nothing? not possible. i have to fake the “tie my shoe” thing. (mark is not impressed with my comment so far. hypocritical sheet fluffer!) i don’t know how people do it. i admire them.
i am also a spitter. better than swallowing it. oh, i am assuming this is while running, not shopping or at a café. i know many spitters. we are a classy crew.
just look. in both directions. i had a friend blow snot and didn’t notice the cyclist passing her.
get a shewee!
Hmmn. What’s next in this self flaggelation dance?
I have that problem too. I really need to invest in Breath Right strips.
Just run with good form.
Oh… and as my mate Yul Brynner once said: don’t smoke.
Susan,
I thought that you had to spit just to live in Texas. It is always a proud moment for me when we are running and you are over there spitting. I think to my redneck self “That’s my girl!”
This is wonderful Susan… hillarious!
Um, no smoking though!
LOL! please don’t smoke and run
just so everyone knows, susan has good aim.
leave belching and farting to the pros
um…i’m really glad you’re in texas!
Too funny…re: the smoking while running, reminds me of the year I ran the Honolulu Marathon…huge contingent of Japanese running that race and some were taking smoke breaks in the marathon…NUTS!!
Don’t do it!;-)
I think you figured it out…he is my secret weapon!!
I bet I have more mucus than you! Ha!
(I spit alot-hence I run alone most of the time…it’s gross.)
