lesson learned

Got in a 4 mile family run in the neighborhood this morning.  Unfortunately we over did it with doggie.  I took her 20oz bottle and water bowl in my empty pack this morning and we stopped and let her get a good drink twice but she still got over heated.  She flopped right down on the cool tile as soon as we got in the front door.  Misty had a great suggestion to hose her off outside so that's what I did.  That really seemed to revive her.  I checked the weather on my phone, 75 degrees with 85% humidity.  Lesson learned.  I was already thinking along the lines of going easy on her this morning by planning for 4 miles instead of 5 too!! From now on we'll stick to an easy 3 during the hotter months.
