Oh man, it feels like it has been forever since I last wrote anything on this blog. But I've been seriously busy with lots of different things, including running. I ran my first 5k in March and it was love at first mile. Now mid March here was cold and rainy, so I wasn't super concerned with being hydrated during those runs, but for some reason April has decided to be more like July weather and it is scorching! So my latest reviewing item has come at the perfect time.
A hydration belt is exactly what it sounds like, a belt to help you stay hydrated. There's two half liter bottled that you can fill up with whatever liquid you like, and a large pocket in the front to hold your keys, phone, or a running snack. The pocket is big enough my galaxy S5 (in a case) fits just fine, so I'm pretty happy with that. There's elastic loops to hold other things and the whole things fits really well.
My biggest concern was chaffing and shifting around while I ran, and I'm pretty pleased to report that so far I've experienced zero chaffing. I may just be incredibly lucky but it fits me perfectly and even on my 3 mile runs it doesn't shift around at all. I'll be taking it with me on some trail runs next month, but I'm pretty sure it'll perform just as well then as it does now. And as an added bonus the water bottles don't leak (unless you forget to actually shut it and end up dumping all the water on your leg), which was another concern of mine.
I am so happy with this item, I've been telling all my runner friends about it. This is literally keeping me running right now because of the heat. If I couldn't keep cold water on my person I would literally have to call it quits after the first mile. And it's like $15 on Amazon, which is a great price I think. I super recommend this for all your runners out there.
