It still seems impossible to me that I’m here, but I’ve finally gotten to a distance in my runs where I need both water and calories.  My wife graciously picked up both for me today.

For hydration, I’m going to try the Amphipod RunLite belt.  I have to admit I’m a bit skeptical, but I also know I need the water, so I’ll give it a try.

For some in-run calories I’m trying two brands:  Gu Energy Gels and Clif Shot Energy Gels.

A full report to follow after my long run on Saturday.
