Pinkish Dark Brown Tint Surrounding Stool. Is This Because Of Having Glass Of Beet Juice?

I had a giant glass of Beet juice on Thursday morning. My urine came out pink for the next two days, and then returned to normal; however, I have had a pinkish-dark brown tint surrounding my stool for the last two days. It is now Monday. Do you think it has anything to do with the beets? Or is this cause for concern?
