Drat. Blood in my urine.<br><br>
Went through this last year, complete with the handy-dandy cytoscopy only to be told it was just bruising.<br><br>
I've been very very good about running hydrated.<br><br>
*sigh*<br><br>
Guess I'll have to see a specialist again. I know it's not just the miles but the exertion. Tough. I'll still run the marathon.

Sorry, Grizzly. I don't have any advice, but good luck sorting this out.

Oh, I remember when this happened before. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> At least you know what it is.<br><br>
Please be careful though and get it checked out.

Grizzly, this is not at all uncommon if you have had a sharp increase in Kms/miles or if you have done any hard racing.<br><br>
I can't say 100% that blood in the urine has nothing to do with a low iron/ferritin count, however all high Km/mileage runners suffer to some degree from low iron counts. Foot crush syndrome
