Oh boy, not again - sorry Jingleville residents!

Comments:
So I'm writing this a week after the fact, and thankfully it's all been sorted out, but I was a little concerned that I'd never have a normal run again after this one.
Ran Old DeKalb to O'Horo, crossed Rt. 11 to Old Rt. 11, then Rich Road to Jingleville, Miner Street into Canton, then back to my folks house on ODK.
Got four miles into it (essentially right by Mike Ragan's parents' house) and BANG - hit with the same intestinal problems as yesterday. Faced a major dilemma - do I knock on Mr. and Mrs. Ragan's door at 7:30 AM and ask to use their toilet? Decided against it and ducked into the woods literally 50-100 feet from the edge of their property. Good thing too, because if they took more than 20 seconds to answer the door I would have been made a real mess of Mr. Ragan's carefully landscaped yard.
Had another attack another half a mile down the road, but after that I was able to hold it together until I got back into Canton and could defile the McDonald's restroom.
Overall, certainly not the week I was looking for, half salvaged it with this long run, though. It was pretty hard to get time to run when I was living a single dad life at my brother's while Wendy was still working, and even when we were both at my folks' house, there were so many family events between Grandpa Todd's calling hours, funeral, Todd Reunion, etc., that it was tough to train.
