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.
