I tried to do a 20 miler yesterday evening. I was all good (very much enjoying the Nick AuYeung Memorial Loop around Mansfield Hollow) until about mile 15 and started feeling pretty sick in the stomach, chilled, light headed. I got back to my place in about 17 miles and had to stop. Drank some water, and had to make a quick trip to the bathroom to clean out my intestine. During the second trip to the bathroom I noticed blood in my urine. That was a bit unnerving, but it's gone now, and I feel the same as I usually do after long runs.
I'm not sure what went wrong. I drank 24 oz of gatorde and 12 oz of water while running ( I stopped at a gym in Willi and got a fill up). Perhaps the gatorade did me wrong. Or maybe I ate too much for dinner the night before? The blood in urine suggests dehydration so perhaps I didn't drink enough.
So now what? Should I go for a 20 miler next weekend or continue with my training schedule as if I ran the whole 20?

I'm happy to hear that you're feeling better. You'd be well-advised to not go back adnd try to make up for lost ground but continue your plan as scheduled.
