Day 50- Last Nights Long Run

I was supposed to do a 10 miler over the weekend but I waited until last night to do it.  A pool day on Sunday with my little family and aunt, uncle and cousin sounded more fun!  Anyway, I waited for Adam to get home and headed out around 6:30pm.  It was 92 degrees when I left.  During my second mile I think I saw a coyote.  I was running on the trail and it was a really wooded area.  It was standing on the path about 30-40 feet away.  I immeadiately turned around and ran the way I'd come from but before I turned it had ran back into the woods.  I decided to stay on the more open paths after that.  During mile 4 I started to see white spots...my vision was getting blurry!  I was very sluggish after that and developed a headache.  I knew by the middle of mile 4 that I wasn't going to make it the full 10 miles.  I was so thirsty and started to feel nauseous.  It was HOT!  I stopped at 6.54 miles and I'm totally ok with that.  I was dehydrated.  I didn't drink enough water yesterday to prep for the run.  I'm going to be getting a water bottle to carry with me instead of leaving my giant water bottle in the car.
