To Hydrate

I didn't run yesterday.  I woke up with a terrible earache that had me almost crying.

I tread milled today.  I went for 40 minutes, running every ten minutes for two and a half minutes each time.  I went a distance of 2.74 and burnt 335 cals.  My heart rate topped out at 144 bpm.  I'm not sweating as much today and that is kinda bothersome.  Next week I am hoping to ramp up my run to three minutes every ten minutes.  I'm nervous about that cause when I am running my calves are just killing me!

So our roommate told me the other day that I shouldn't be refilling bottled water bottles with tap water.  He said that there are still harmful chemicals that can leach into the water from them.  He recommended to use the hard plastic water bottles that you buy specifically for refilling.  Well I have one and I used it for the first time yesterday.  But I don't really like it because of how wide the mouth is.  When I on the treadmill and I go to have a drink, it spills everywhere!  Drives me nuts!  So I was wondering, what do you use to hydrate while exercising?

  1. I bought a tumbler with a straw. That way I can put it into the dishwasher. And then I can know how much I am drinking when I refill it.
