The peeing thing is NBD - I'll pop a squat in any semi-secluded area. But I have so many questions about #2! What if you don't have TP? What if it's...messy? Lol. I purposely never run too far from bathrooms because I am terrified of this scenario.
I pop a squat. Is this an Iowa saying? I thank my years of drunken tailgating for learning the art of gracefully peeing in the woods. It was invaluable once I began marathon training
I heard it in Michigan all the time.
Iowa City cops have been cracking down on peeing in the woods lately during tailgating. The guys have it so much easier when trying to be discrete about it!

When I run after work in the city, I will swing into a McD's or gas station to go. When I'm running the country roads, I try to make sure I go several times before leaving to avoid emergencies. I usually don't have to go, but if I drink too much coffee w/o enough time, I'll just go on the side of the road in some brush (it's a little sparse in the Winter) and hope that no one drives by in that minute or so. Thankfully it's only happened a couple of times.
I almost go every time I run. I try to find a port a potty but most of the time I find a secluded tree lined area. I also run at 4 am so not many gawkers present besides deer and opossum:). They have scared the crap out of me though in several occasions. Lol literally. I run with toilet paper all the time.
I did get caught once pants down peeing in an open area. I was very embarrassed and now more cautious even at 4 am:)

I always carry tp or napkins just in case....gross I know not proud but its better than the latter.....lol
I have yet to have to pee in the woods thankfully. Prepregnancy I never had to pee when running. Usually when I have to go its #2 and I wouldn't do that in the woods.
I'll go at any place available, which has included a gas station, hospital, five guys, cvs, etc.

I always keep tp in my fuel belt just in case. On shorter runs I am usually close to a bathroom..... For some reason speed work lends its self to #2. I have no idea why.
