I had a similar thing when I trained for my first marathon and freaked out. My doctor said it was hemorrhoids resulting from dehydration, commmon among runners. She advised me to step up my water intake and eat more fiber. I did this and the problem went away. I'm not saying this is your condition but you may want to try changing your diet and see if that works (either way it coudn't hurt). Good luck! Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
