Running... one bathroom stop to another.

I have noticed that the biggest challenge to endurance running isn't going the actual distance... it's what to do with yourself when you are in between mile 3 and 4 and about 3 miles from the nearest bathroom.  This isn't normally a problem for the normal person.  Normally.  However, when you find yourself knocked up er  I mean with child.. well... that need all of a sudden becomes a dire necessity.  

It has gotten so bad that I find places to run that circle my house or public restrooms.  I literally plan my runs around a restroom.  I go once before I leave and usually can count the seconds til I return.  Where is that running zen I so covet?  


I am slightly worried that in San Antonio I will be reduced to a port a potty...  and I will be ok, not ideal but it'll work in a pinch.  
Do you think they will notice me running with my own roll of charmin?  
think anyone would notice the dress made out of toilet paper? no... really....    ???

Seriously...  I still enjoy my runs...  but you know it's desperate when you wish you'd worn your grandmother's depends.  
Maybe I am looking at it all wrong...  maybe the zen I covet is really....
snicker snicker
