Camelbak

I ordered myself a Camelbak – this one – to use while running. It’s getting so hot here and I hate having to carry a bottle of water or gatorade in my hand (and was worried the hydration belts would bug me) so I got this. Before getting it, I would leave a bottle of Gatorade on my front porch and run back to my house to drink when I needed to. Which worked but… ehh…

I ran with it this morning and it seemed to work well and didn’t bother me. I only did 5 miles though (4 straight, then stopped and walked a minute or so before running the final mile) because of the heat.  My body just isn’t use to it yet. I did manage 8 miles earlier in the week so at least I know I can still do that distance if the weather cooperates. Unfortunately, it won’t be cooperating for a few months. Hopefully after a few weeks I’ll get used to it and be able to do a little more distance, but if not, all I can do is do what I can….
