After my successful half on the treadmill I thought I'd be OK to run a half outside... I knew I was in trouble when I hit mile 5 and was already thirsty. I circled back to home and told Jeff to have some water waiting for me. He did. Then I got to mile 8 and knew I was in trouble again so I called the kids and asked them to bring me water. Thank God for kids who drive and could get there fast! At this point I knew I was in trouble... I wanted to get in the car with them but I thought even if I don't complete this half all running, I can at least cover the distance. And I did~ but dang was it HOT! I walked from mile 8 to mile 12 and then I ran the last 1.1 (slowly, but I ran it). I didn't die. But I wanted to.
