REVIEW: Simply Hydration Bottle

This weekend I tried out the Simple Hydration Bottle. It as advertised as:

  • 13 ounces is the perfect amount of liquid for most training runs or as a race bottle.
  • Wide mouth opening makes it easy to fill and clean.
  • The hook allows the bottle to rest on a waistband, race belt or sports bra.
  • Contoured design fits nicely to the shape of the body.
  • BPA-Free bottle made of LDPE and made in the USA.
  •  
     
Ran 8 miles with the bottle hooked on to my flip-belt. First four miles it was in my back. Initial, I didn't feel it but after the second mile I felt that it was weighing down the back of my shorts. I felt like I might be showing butt crack, LOL.  

The next for miles I moved  it to the front and it side to the left of my hip. This was a much better fit and i didn't not feel the weight (at this time there was a bit less water). It was nice to have something  to drink without having to carry something in my hand or wearing a hydration pack. 

Thumbs up: stayed in place in my flip-belt and I did not feel the weight once I found a good position for it. It did not leak and it was easy to get too.

Thumbs down: you need to find the right place for it and make sure you are wearing something supportive to keep it in place.

In the Nerd Running Bag: YES

Let's Get Started....again!

So I haven't blogged for a while I which I could say it was because I was running around the world, but, unfortunate that is not the case. My mom passed away on May 29, 2015 and since then I have not had time to really be online. I have continued to do small runs, but now it is time to get started again, Mom would have wanted me to keep running. She would have said in Spanish of course "Don't get fat again". Ok mom I will do my best to keep going, keep running, and stay healthy.

I will be posting more stuff so please keep coming back for more!

Next Race: Long Beach Half
