An American jogger’s emotional video left social media users in a mix of amusement and disbelief after she shared an embarrassing incident during her morning run.
The candid clip, shared on her TikTok account @lyonessruns, went viral, garnering 9M views, 866K likes, and 17.5K comments from viewers who shared mixed reactions.
The woman was on her five-and-a-half-mile run of her 22-mile jogging exercise around the Chicago Lake trail. Taking a video selfie while walking in the dark, she tearfully shared that she had an unfortunate accident and that there were no bathrooms available as it was still too early in the morning.
Is morning the best time to go for a run?
She added that she had to wake her boyfriend, Brandon, up at 4 am and ask him to come and pick her up. She said she could no longer run or walk the 5 miles back after she messed herself. Grateful to have someone like Brandon, the woman described herself as literally walking the walk of shame.
The boyfriend arrived with towels to cover her and then had another one on the seat of the car. After he drove to their place, she cleaned herself and then went right back to the road to finish the 16 miles she hadn't done.
