Those Days I Should Have Stayed Home

It’s 95 degrees. I’m out of water. I’m seven miles from home.

It was a bad idea; taking my mid week marathon training long run in the heat of the day. A really bad idea. Now I’m on my very dehydrated ass, using the shade of a small tree as a medical tent. Fortunately, I’m carrying my phone and can call for help. I call my wife. Help.
