Running really makes you think a lot. What else is there to do? I mean you’re running and running and running and running… If you don’t have an portable music player with you, you have nothing else to do but allow your mind to wander. You look at the things around you, the people you pass as you run and you end up thinking of a lot of things that just suddenly pop into your head.

I’m sure most of us have heard of nitro used in race cars, or in the case of runners, that final burst of speed. As I was running the last km of my long run, I suddenly started laughing… why? I just thought that what if instead of nitro coming out of a runner and a final burst of speed, the runner uses up all his gas and lets it out… Hahaha! I mean, in that final push, the runner suddenly let’s out a really loud FART!

The thought of it happening was hilariously funny that I did my last km with such a big smile on my face. I mean, the thoughts just started coming in. What if during a race, a runner wants to rid himself of other runners around him, or leave them all behind… he can just “let ‘er rip!” and I’m sure all the runners will move to the sides. Hehehehe! Or in a short distance races like 100m-1500m, a runner can just “let ‘er rip” and distract his competitors.

Well, one “let ‘er rip” moment that I’ve experienced was while I was running around the village… I really felt a fart forthcoming. I tried my best to let it out without any sound… When it came out, whew… no sound at all. Until I realized that I had my headphones on and wouldn’t have heard it come out. Hahaha! Good thing there was no one around. I hope
