In the rain, they mostly stayed put but turned into white goo. While warming up I somehow got a gob of this stuff on the knee of my black tights. A buddy said "Um" and pointed. "Ugh!" I cried, and wiped it off. "It's flour". He grinned. "Heh, could have been worse!" At my race on Sunday, the temporary road markings were made with flour.

It happens to the most timely of us! So true that the buildup to the challenging workout is worse than just getting it done…hence my no longer thinking about any run or race beforehand. :P

I like to call that "collateral damage." And it typically happens to me right at the start of a long run, so I'm running in snail-trail encrusted clothes for hours. No wonder people think runners are hot. “…but it catches the wind and ends up right back on me.”

Doesn't matter how many times you look back just as soon as a you blow the lugie someone is right there to see you do it! What I hate worse is when I think I have the right angle to blow one when I am on my bike but it catches the wind and ends up right back on me! Yes, the dreaded snot blow!
