I ran in pee and it wasn't mine.

 We had a Valentine's Day party for the kids yesterday.  It is really hard to get 7 kids under 7 to look the same way and smile.  We were just missing one small girl cousin.
 We did heart shape mini pizzas and hot dogs.  Sorry, no pictures! I also made cupcakes and the kids just got lots of goodies from grandparents, aunts and great aunties, and great grandma too.
 this little guy is busy getting frosting off the cupcakes with a dry spaghetti noodle!
Yesterday I was busy getting the kids gathered up so we could get out the door and I could go for my run.  My little sister who is currently staying at my parent's house was going to watch them and then I would watch her kids while she ran.  I ran around trying to find my favorite running tights.  They were finally located sitting in the laundry.  I knew I had worn them Sunday on my long run, but figured they would be clean enough for today.  I put them on quick, laced up my shoes and out the door we went.

As I was driving in the car I started noticing a very distinct odor.  Yup the kid pee odor.  I started sniffing my shirt, but I knew that was fresh out the closet and then remembered Sunday night my darling daughter had fallen asleep early and wet her pants.  I removed said pants from her little body and threw them in the laundry where they apparently sat on my running tights.

I was about two miles from my house when I figured all this out, so I turned around, went home, and put on clean ones. just kept driving.  I figured what is a little kid pee?

  I have had worse things on me.  Like the night my when my son was around 14 months old and puked all night.  I got tired of changing my shirt and his clothes every 15 minutes and just stayed in the puke clothes until he quit throwing up so much.  Don't judge I was 8 months pregnant and TIRED!

I ran a three mile warm up and then did 8 x 400 intervals.  Felt really good.  8.3 miles total.

What have you done gross lately?
ps. did you enter my Noodle Hugger headband giveaway?  You should!

    Oh dear lord. I'm pretty sure I would have freaked out and gone home. Then again, it's also probably different if they're your own kids.

    saw the title and had to come read...you did not disappoint. I'm not a parent so this entirely blows my mind, but again sounds like a normal runner to me

    pee, puke, crap, spit--whatever. I've had it all on me at one point or another. I probably wouldn't have bothered to change either--it was just going to get sweaty anyway right? :)

    Omg hahahaha that is too funny! Probably not a big deal if you're a mom though! It's so much work to turn around and go home just to change!

    So funny (and a little gross:) When we were in Europe, we weren't expecting Italy to be so cold, so I ended up having to wear my old navy polar fleece pants under my jeans almost every day. Kinda gross, but what do ya do?

    I've peed in my own pants while running before so why not just add to the mix. You're right, vomit is worst anyway. :)

    Ha! I love it. I think vomit is way worse than pee, what's a little pee? There was a hole in the dog poop bag the other day so I grabbed the dog poop WITH MY BARE HANDS and then had to keep running until the end. That was pretty disgusting!

    ha ha such a funny story....I would have done the exact same thing and still kept running. :)

    The kiddos are adorable and it looks like you had such a fun day. Such a creative little Moma you are. ;)

    I would have absolutely done what you did! Pee is NOT the grossest thing out there.

    I have a story, but it's much worse than yours and will have to wait until we meet someday.

    Thanks for the laughs!!

    OH that is too funny! But I'm sure being out in the fresh air, and once combined with sweat it wasn't so bad, right? You're a trooper for not turning around!

    Hahaha OH motherhood! It has brought us to this. I would never judge another mother on any of her decisions(unless clearly dangerous, I suppose)cause its tough out there and sometimes you are gonna run in a little pee. :-)

    Haha that is a total mom moment. Pre-kids, I would never consider doing that, but I wouldn't turn that car around and go back home instead of running, pee pants or no. :)

    Puke and pee are definitely preferable to that third bodily ick :) Good for you for forging onward!

    I love that little guy with his dry spaghetti noodle!

    This wasn't nearly as bad as I was anticipating! Good for you for sticking it out. A lot of people would have gone back home.
