Topic: Women & over-hydrating during runs

I am a small guy 125 lbs., so about the size of many women. In the average day I drink 3 glasses of water, 2 of milk, one orange juice, and two coffee,this seems to do just fine for me.I can add that I recall reading that we should hydrate for three days before a race.(James Fixx's first book I believe). I follow this guide line. The only time I got in trouble over hydrating was an uncomfortable sloshing sensation from over doing the water at the last minute.
