Snot Rockets

by runeatrepeat on August 31, 2009

I have never been able to (or really ever wanted to) blow a snot rocket. Maybe I am a lady, maybe I don’t possess the snot rocket gene, but I can’t bring myself to do it. But, when I run – so does my nose. My answer to this is a folded up paper towel* tucked in my shorts or sports bra. I just blow my nose mid-stride and keep going. *You must use a paper towel NOT a napkin or tissue paper for this – anything else falls apart. Sure, it gets super gross by the end of a run, but I don’t want to be running around shooting crap out of my nose. Snot rockets are not for me. Snot Rockets Snot Rockets

It was cold this morning, but my bananas are not ripe enough for oatmeal. I decided on a Green MonsterĀ  and a waffle with PB&J.  Snot Rockets

Someone asked about my trail mix…I always mix it up depending on my mood! This time I used Cheerios, Almonds, Cashews, Graham cereal, Chocolate Chips, and Raisins. Snot Rockets

I mix it up in a big ziploc bag or tupperware container, toss around and enjoy! Snot Rockets

I love getting a handful of everything icon smile Snot Rockets  Snot Rockets

Happy Monday! I am leaving for Belize on Saturday morning – let’s hope this week goes by fast!

I just wipe my nose on my shirt sleeve, anything that I can get :)

Haha, I can’t do one either, and it doesn’t bother me in the least. My old frisbee coach did them all the time and I just didn’t feel like running too close behind him after that

I’m disgusted by snot rockets ever since Real World and Puck….ewww!

I usually end up using a wrist band or my sleeve. But I think I’ll be trying your papertowel trick next outdoor run.

I can’t shoot a snot rocket. I would if I could though. I just wipe on my shirt because, well, I’m classy.

Thanks for the trail mix “recipe!” This post is hilarious.. the boyfriend and I always have the snot rocket convo. I think that it’s a male thing.

Haha, this post made me laugh. When I started cycling, my boyfriend told me I’d have to learn to snot rocket. But I can’t do it! I just don’t have the power behind it :P I usually stuff TP in my sports bra and it gets soaked, I’ll have to try the paper towel :)
