I must be so dense but here I am with (maybe) my 3rd UTI - all occurring in the summer months. Duh!
It has finally dawned on me that running in 90 degree heat requires drinking 2 or 3 times as much water than in ordinary outdoor exercising.
Apparently, if your bodily fluids are lost in perspiration you won't have enough liquid in your bladder to fight or offset the bacteria there so they gain control and you get a bladder infection.
Today I carried a bottle of water with me and I drank another large one when I got home.
I hope I've learned my lesson this time.
