Alright..
This question is probably going to sound absurd, but I recently had to give up my gym membership. I've been exercising at home, but i've been going stir crazy!! It's still a little too cold for me to do anything outside, but i'm hoping it warms up enough in a week or so... I downloaded Ullrey's couch to 5k podcasts and, being a former runner, I can definitely complete the program in the 9 weeks.. it's been awhile since i've run outside but not that long.. I can't wait to get started.. my boyfriend bought me a shiny new pair of running shoes ... but I do have one concern and I was curious how you ladies handle this when you're out running..
Where do you put your water bottle??
I know camelbaks exist, and water bottle fanny pack holders, but i'm curious what YOU personally do. I know they're inexpensive but my current financial situation doesn't really call for spending any extra money.. do any of you have any tips or tricks since it seems like I'm going to have to, at least for a little while, carry something. I can't even fathom the idea of going out withOUT water.. when I ran at the gym on the treadmill, I had my water in front of me, in high school when I was running in circles (i played soccer and ran track) we were just never very far from an available water source, and when I ran in my old town I ran around a golf course that had drinking fountains available at every hole. I guess for a little while I'm going to have to carry.. so..
should I switch hands every so often - I can imagine holding a water bottle is going to be a little like carrying a weight in one hand, and I don't want to do anything weird to my arm muscles? any tips on maybe making something homemade (I guess I could knit a water bottle holster, lol!)?
or am i just obsessing about this way too much since it's just too darn cold and I have too much pent up extra energy that I need to do something with?
