[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- Thanks for the responses.

Do any of you take water out with you while you run? If so, what kind of container do you use? I'm trying to break away from my treadmill but I haven't been able to find a nuisance free way to stay hydrated.

What brand of socks do you recommend?

Thanks![/quote]

Hi OP!  I"m 14:36---did you see my #2?    That is what I use for hydration.   Other people like to use the water bottles that can attach to belts.   I have only tried amphipod and did not like it.   I felt it shifted to much as I ran.   The manufacturer or the other belt I linked (i-fitness) makes a version with water bottles, so I might try that.   I will probably wait 'till summer though.   This time of year I don't feel as much need for hydration (I might NEED it---I just don't FEEL it like I do in the summer!).

Another thing, I have learned to not be shy about going into businesses and using their water fountain--I am mostly thinking of grocery stores here.

I like Thorlo socks.    I had an employee at a running boutique store make fun of me because I said that, that they look like old lady running socks!--and yeah, they do...but they sure are comfortable.    He tried to sell me on Balga...and I bought a pair and they were fine...but I prefer Thorlo....but I gotta say, I also buy the 6 pack of addidas running socks at Costco and wear those too.   In fact, my first marathon this last fall was in a pair of Addidas from Costco![/quote]
