Last Night I thought I would run across town to the Trails Golf Club. The heat of the day was beginning to subside as I trotted from 12th to Far western Norman. By the time I had made it to the Trails golf club, I was thirsty and I was almost at my time to turn around. And so my midnight preview of the course and the search for water began. I rummaged the course looking for an available water cooler because golf courses usually have that kind of stuff and I was shocked to see that the water coolers were missing from their stands. So, the Trails takes there water coolers in at night GREAT, I though to myself. Now I was 45 minutes into the run and I needed water because of this Oklahoma heat. Angry at the Trails club, I ran back towards the OU campus knowing I was reaching my limitations. I pushed and pushed until I made it back to the apartment in I hour and 27 minutes. The moment I reached the door I felt dizzy and light-headed. Water has never tasted so good before that moment. I was exhausted and I spent the rest of my few hours awake hydrating and suffering from stomach cramps.
Lesson: Never run to the Trails Golf Club at night because they have no water.
Well, Lesson learned!
