Hand Me Some Water!

Stopped by Playmakers in Okemos today and bought one of these. I think this is going to be perfect. Tomorrow's 9-miler is my first experiment with eating and drinking on the road. Should be interesting. I am starting to keep track of the caffeine:

• Diet Coke 47mg
• Mountain Dew 54mg
• Elixir 37.5
• Gu Chomps / Strawberry is 20mg per serving (4 pieces, or 5mg per piece)

Carl at the Complete Runner told me that you need a little caffeine to stimulate your stomach to work--otherwise it can shut down.

I get excited about my long runs. I am really looking forward to the run tomorrow. I think I will do 2-3-4 to equal 9. I can see how the eating and water bottle work out.
