I hate to carry stuff in my hands too. If I run with my hand held it's for any runs between 10-13 miles but anything higher I use my fuel belt that has 2 water bottles and it really comes in handy on those long runs. <br /><br />I plan on running the Capt John Hallett Ultra marathon as well. I am starting marathon training hopefully next week (have an injured shin) for a May marathon and then will use that as my base to jump into ultra training. I look foward to following your journey.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915445766937263434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769025492346305776.post-53904457051231578372012-02-21T15:05:11.645-08:002012-02-21T15:05:11.645-08:00I'm going to buy a small table and use that......I'm going to buy a small table and use that...hoping that will help.

I'd rather stash water (hoping no takes it or messes with it) or design a route that I know has a place with a drinking fountain.Ritanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769025492346305776.post-56489897418882731392012-02-21T14:16:06.374-08:002012-02-21T14:16:06.374-08:00I hate running with stuff in my hands.

The only times I can manage to drink and run at the same time is when I have the paper cups I can fold into a funnel-like thing... And that's usually during races. <br /><br />Do you use a handheld?? I LOVE mine, and it even comes with a small pouch for keys/ID. I highly recommend it. :)nataliehttp://mickiruns.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769025492346305776.post-19478294587403946032012-02-21T13:09:26.481-08:002012-02-21T13:09:26.481-08:00This is the first time I am being really serious a...This is the first time I am being really serious about my training. Once you start working on longer distances you have to get the nitch of drinking and eating on your runs. Drinking on my runs is getting easier. Water always use to go up my nose while running, but I'm getting the hang of it lolAndi Dornelashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00828223729467200222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769025492346305776.post-21778702471199191182012-02-21T13:06:55.461-08:002012-02-21T13:06:55.461-08:00That is awesome Rebecca.

Florida is definitely warmer than us and water will be important especially because we aren't use to their weather and you will probably be sweating like a mad woman. I wish you not only luck, but lots of fun. Can't wait to see the pictures.Andi Dornelashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00828223729467200222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769025492346305776.post-33838960077817179752012-02-21T11:13:16.400-08:002012-02-21T11:13:16.400-08:00i am about to do the Disney Princess Half Marathon...i am about to do the Disney Princess Half Marathon this coming Sunday - and my husband was stressing the importance of drinking water last night. it was quite timely that i read your blog. i have done my longer runs without water...and without thinking about it. since Florida is so much hotter than Washington i KNOW that i will have to hit every water station. thanks for the info!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050854661527294860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769025492346305776.post-83722319601477156442012-02-21T10:10:53.481-08:002012-02-21T10:10:53.481-08:00Great post Andrea!!!
