drinkwaterx4's Journal, 28 Dec 13

Last Thursday's run I had an unusual incident after the run. I drank a purple drink, when I went to the loo afterwards had a spot of purple pee. At first very disturbing but quickly cleared up so wasn't worried. Well after today's run had the same thing happen. This time worried so on-line to check it out. Well known with ultra runners - dehydration / empty bladder causes the bladder walls to rub together releasing blood into the urine. The remedy is to drink regularly, something I don't always do. Afterwards I drank over 36 oz! of water and it cleared up quickly - a good sign. I'm not going to run this week as I try to get my hydration levels in check. I should have realized when I went down to 183 was not normal. I don't get thirsty and not much of an appetite. I need to be careful with extreme weight loss and exercise. Quite a scare. I've learned a valuable lesson. And if it persists after my race this coming Saturday I will be off to see the doc!
