Wedding and a mara...Congrats on a big year for you! Wedding and a marathon?!? Cool.<br /><br />Good job on your run too. That's not a bad time either. I ran 10 miles this weekend at a much slower pace. And your 13 mile time was almost the same as my half-marathon time from last year. You're probably way ahead of where I was when I was training for that.<br /><br />I remember my first 12-mile run, I did it by myself. I had a Garmin and a heart rate monitor, but no fuel belt. I remember I was at around mile 11.5 or so, not quite to 12, and I felt my forehead. It was bone dry. I thought "Gee, shouldn't I be dripping with sweat?" Well, yeah, I should have been, but no fuel belt for me meant dehydration. Yikes!<br /><br />If I run 10 miles or more, I'll go with my fuel belt; less than eight I won't; 8-10 just depends, but for my long runs it's a necessary piece of equipment.<br /><br />I would check amazon.com (that's where I got mine) but I would also recommend trying one on first. I bought a large and I probably should have bought a medium. Mine works fine but if I don't tighten it then it slips. It'll take some getting used to. Also, I'd recommend getting one with four bottles instead of two because you can always leave bottles at home and just run with two or three or whatever.<br /><br />I suppose if you need it by this weekend, then you might just have to go to a running store to get one. They're a bit cheaper online. Good luck!L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.com
