As a veteran runner / poo’er I know the anxiety that brings. I remember many a run coming home with one sock as I said goodbye to the other one in what, I can only imagine, is an awful way for a sock to finish its useful life. Surprisingly difficult not to do it inside your pulled down shorts as you squat. Bravo.

[@middleagedrunningman]

I think socks already have a tough gig. An arse wipe between friends? No problem.
