    No, not normal.
    There a few reasons why you could have "runny poop" but having blood in there is not usual and you need to ask your doctor about this.

    As a nurse I'm gonna agree with the others... Go see your doctor!

    Is the blood bright red or is it darker in color??? Since having children I have bad hemroids (I know TMI but it is relevant I promise) anytime I go a lot or have diarhea or sometimes with constipation it will irritate them and cause them to bleed (bright red). I know I went to the doctor and the first question he asked was what color the blood was, they seem to be more concerned with darker colored blood, but I would still recommend making an appointment just to be on the safe side. Good luck.

    this could also be a sign of gluten intolerance. Dr visit is a good idea!!
