That was my hands just before I called my son to bring me a bottle of Gatorade after about 3/4 of my walk. I could feel my hands swelling and I was getting dry quickly. Trying to keep my usual pace with an 86 degree temperature outside and the hot sun in full view. I used up my only bottle of water just before I called him. I knew I wouldn't make it home without something. I had that happen over the summer last year and I was just over halfway done with my walk then. Luckily, the community pool was right across the street and I walked into the ladies room and hopped in the shower - clothes on...socks and shoes off. I filled my 2 bottles of water, (yes, I had drank 2 by that time) asked for a packet of salt and walked home without any further incident. It was well over 90 degrees that day. I keep thinking I will be fine but you never know with the heat. I vow to take 2 bottles from now on and I am looking into getting a Camelbak as it holds more and I wouldn't have to carry the bottles...you use a tube clipped to your clothes. I'm glad it was the weekend and someone was home to help me out. KJ always helps out.
