I need to run 2 hours,I need to swim. How many laps today. {walking back to calender to check it out} Oh, only 1250 yds. I really need to kick my laps up a notch, but not today, no time. Ok, so I could run the country roads, think Harley will make 2 hours or will I just be stressing myself out? What if I have to go to the bathroom? I'll just go to the Y and run on the treadmill. It's going to be 70+ degrees today, I can't run inside. I could run to town and get McRibs truck. Nope. He rode his Harley today. Dangit! I could...why am I so worried about going pee??? It's not like you haven't squatted on the road before. I hate stopping. I hate stopping to pee. I just won't drink. You gotta drink. OK. So you could run around the section 3+ times and if you have to pee your gonna run right by the house. I hate running laps - B-O-R-I-N-G-!-!-! What if I get inside and don't want to leave again. I hate stopping. OK, so double the section and only run it twice. That would be 12 miles, but I can run more than 12 miles in 120 minutes. So, I could back track a little and run back. GAWD! I'm just going to run the big loop and if I have to back track to meet my time, just do it. Who cares. OK, now what about the swim. I could do my run, rest, ride my bike to town and then swim. But then I don't have time to work. I need to work. OK, call football coach and ask how long practice will be. You can go to the Y, knock out your laps...tick tick tick, how long with that take? Then go back and pick up Jake and head home to pick up John from wrestling. Calling coach...Hi, how long do you think practice will be tonight? 45-60 minutes. I only heard 45 because as he was saing 60 my brain was already screaming to self: "ONLY 45 MINUTES!!! OMG! Can't you practice longer that that so I have time to drive to the Y, change clothes, swim, and make it back to pick up my kid. That's not ENOUGH time for me! Back to conversation with coach: OK, that works for us. He'll be there ready to play. Bye. OK, so I'll take them to practice early, fly to the Y, power swim, pick up kid. Coach is supposed to stay with them if I'm late. Late, I'm never late! He is supposed to stay with the kids. Isn't he? Unbelievable.
So I'm headed out to run, going to work and going to swim tonight. I will be OK and I'm not going to stop to pee. If I can't get my swim in, I'll swim it tomorrow on my non-swim day. It doesn't matter, I just got to get it in sometime.

Go Run! You'll stop a lot of that chatter in your head. Enjoy the day! I'm so excited about how beautiful it's supposed to be.
OMG-I can't wait to hear what exactly did take place today!
I'm tired just reading all of that. Hope it all works out okay!
Run the country roads and pee behind a bush if you need to. That's mucho better than a loop that will pass your house numerous times.
Wow thats alot on your mind, you for a run to clear your thoughts!!
You got lots of people living up there in that head of yours. Wow, that conversation wore ME out.
Girl, you need to learn to just pee your pants while running! Of course, it is much easier while wearing tri shorts because then it doesnt go running down your leg....
So, put on some tri shorts, go for a run, and pee! :)
Anytime I'm worried about where I'll pee, or where to stash water, or what route I should run...Hubby says I'm just trying to talk myself out of going! Hmmmm....
I hope you had an awesome 70-degree run! It's 68 here, and I spent my lunch hour on the trail. Glorious.
I'm usally more worried about pooping than I am peeing!
HEY! I've had very similar conversations in my head!!
Whew! Glad to hear I'm not psycho.
Or if I am, so are you :)
The joy of being a man. As my wife likes to say--The world is my toliet.
