poop

Had to miss Incline happy hour last night, probably the first time I've missed it due to non-race taper related reasons in two years, because a pipe at $100's house got clogged. Lots of work taking care of that, hopefully by this afternoon it'll all be good. We joke about poop in the Kimchi hash all the time, but somehow it's not quite so funny when you're actually covered in it.

Anywho, no run last night and an easy five miles this morning. Should still hit 90 this week and get to 1000 for 2010 on Sunday. Maybe the rest last night and this morning will bode well for my attempt at a sub 13 5K on Saturday.

Any plumbers out there know if Liquid Plumber can be used for preventative maintenance, instead of only when there's already a clog? Maybe dump a container down the drain every time I leave town for a hundred miler?

Drop $100, get it snaked and then quit throwing your tampons down the toilet and you should be fine.

Agreed, get it snaked. If roots are the issue get some copper sulfate from the hardware store and put it down the line 2x a year. That will do a lot to prevent clogging in the future by roots at least.

I saw the title and thought I was responsible. I agree with Nick....your tampons need to be tossed in a separate receptacle.

Pete, we're sending you the plumbing bill, the crap they pulled out of our drain looked awfully like the New Mexico Stomper.

We had an issue right around the Christmas holiday. Guy came out with a video snake so we could see the whole thing. Even got a DVD of it. 150 bucks and no digging.
