Megan and I love running. We love that running is our time-- a time when we don't have to identify as mothers, wives, students, employees-- we are simply runners. We love feeling healthy, energized, accomplished, young and fit. We motivate each other, hold each other accountable, and enjoy each other's company. We aren't entirely innocent though, as we run along.
During long training runs (and shorter ones too!), our conversations always seem to steer towards the gutter. As the miles go by, we are busy cracking up at our own bathroom humor, caught up in our long-run delirium. It was during a long run one morning, that we decided we would purchase gutter-humor running shirts for our upcoming marathon-- shirts that were sure to make our fellow marathoners chuckle as they passed by. Despite extensive online research, we were unable to find our shirts-- we ended up having to make them ourselves!
We were quite surprised, and it got us wondering: Are there really be no other rotten runners out there like us? Are we the only runners who trudge along talking about farting, pooping, and sex as if we were in third grade? We decided there HAD to be more runners out there like us...there was just no place for us to congregate in a united front.
We decided we needed to create a platform for the rotten runner-- a place where rotten runners across the country could unite and express themselves to one another without shame... and without having to deny who they truly are. Our rotten platform begins here with this blog, and extends to a product line that we designed consisting of highly inappropriate running apparel and accessories. We also have a website at www.rottenrunner.com, and have created a facebook page for rotten runners to find one another. With these tools, rotten runners will never have to feel alone or embarrassed again.
Miles of smiles from the Original Rotten Runners,
