I think if I keep the electrolytes balanced, the bathroom seems a little less of an issue. Still, in my slow person philosophy, it's better to stop at a bathroom and be safe running than be fast but hurt yourself from dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Adelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256451142660464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8822964916714920676.post-14419683986333564182012-03-24T08:27:44.684-07:002012-03-24T08:27:44.684-07:00Kelly, I too avoid hot drinks and cold drinks befo...Kelly, I too avoid hot drinks and cold drinks before a race. I've not heard about the she-wee yet & love you posted this because I think lots of women have this issue. Lately, resolving that I'm getting older & perhaps wiser, I've begun doing kegel exercises. http://women.webmd.com/tc/kegel-exercises-topic-overview. If I get time today, I plan on visiting my favorite Dick's SG store to check out the water belts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386715484919770176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8822964916714920676.post-15369403602563063752012-03-18T15:29:47.286-07:002012-03-18T15:29:47.286-07:00I also struggle with the toilet breaks issue: 2 ki...I also struggle with the toilet breaks issue: 2 kids later, my pelvic floor has given up the ghost. I'm not sure that there is a solution but I avoid hot drinks before running. There's also the 'she-wee' but it seems a little undignified to say the least.Kelly Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706632729956516779noreply@blogger.com
