5 Embarrassing Running Problems

I found a video about 5 embarrassing running problems many runners face. It made me laugh at first, because the first problem was tripping. Two weeks ago, my friend wanted to go running for the very first time ever (it is never too late to start!). As we crossed the street, she didn't quite clear the curb and ended up face-planting into the ground. Not the best experience for your first run! Fortunately, she was a good sport and we laughed the rest of the way back to the car. She even worked up the courage to go running the next week.

Here is a complete list of the five embarrassing running problems:
1. Tripping during your run
2. Excessive sweating
3. Bathroom breaks
4. Getting lost
5. Faulty attire

I have to say that bathroom breaks and wardrobe malfunctions happen to be my worst fears. There is nothing like getting two miles into a long run and realizing you need a bathroom ASAP! It is also problematic when your shorts won't stay up or your shirt is giving you a rash.

Here is a link to the video and the full article that gives great advice on how to avoid some of these obstacles on your next run:
