This happens. The first thing I would do is figure out why you are getting the "I have to find a bathroom NOW". Are you eating the wrong things too soon before your run? I would also question if you are overtraining. We all have crappy days. Was this just a crappy day or do you think your body is rebelling from overtraining? I would just continue with your plan. We are not machines. Life intervenes. You will actually learn from having to adjust mid-stream.

In response to what I think was your original question, if I miss one day or cut a run short I just move on with the schedule as if I had completed the run. If your schedule is accelerating so hard that missing one run would derail you, then the schedule is too aggressive anyway.
