We all get a case of bubble guts. It isn’t like this is something new, but in this case, a nice case of mudbutt helped Tamara Torlakson raised the bar for her run in the New York Marathon.
But wait, this year that wasn’t one woman who did this…there were 2!!!!
Deirdre Keane!
Runners poop themselves all the time. It’s called Runner Trots. Some people call it Gingerbread Man (betcha you never have another one after that.). When you are running, it, in essence, loosens things up. And as things shift downwards, we have the pressure.
In this case, Tamara achieved a personal record 13 months after she gave birth. That’s pretty impressive, when you think about it. What is more impressive is that she took the Browns To The Super Bowl, while she was able to run 26.2 miles in 3 hours and 17 minutes; which is 1 minute and 20 seconds better than her best, up to that point.
If you are poo-pooing it, you try to run a marathon…with a turd in your pants.
Marathons are about finishing the race, sure, but it is about pushing yourself to greater accomplishments. Pushing is exactly what Tamara did, so stopping wasn’t an option. Even though she was prairie-dogging, she ran past port-a-potties, which could have been some relief at mile 13, but nope, she tried something that she had never done before (at least since she was in diapers)…drop a deuce in her pants while she was running.
Guess, what…success!!!! And since she was on a great pace, Tamara said,
“I didn’t want one poop to mess it all up.”
“It just came out and I felt a lot better,”
The best part is when she ended the race, she announced to her friends, family and everyone else waiting at the finish line:
“I pooped my pants!”
And instead of going to Disney, like many athletes do, she ran to a port-a-potty with a package of wet wipes.
