I filled my water bottle and took it with me on today&#8217;s run. The weather was absolutely perfect. Not too hot, sunny and warm-about <strong>77 degrees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I slathered on the sunscreen and headed out with my new water bottle. First, the <strong>pros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000080;\">I like having water when I run, especially in the summer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000080;\">I like the color and shape.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000080;\">I like that it comes with a zipper pouch to put stuff in it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000080;\">It was affordable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#000080;\">There&#8217;s grooves on the sides for gripping.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, the <strong>cons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color:#800080;\">It is slightly too big for my hands. But I have small hands.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#800080;\">Apparently I sweat a lot, even in my hands! It was kind of hard to grip once I got sweaty.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:#800080;\">The nozzle is a tad awkward. I feel like it should point other way, but maybe I just need to practice more?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>QUESTION: Do you have a running water bottle? What kind? Do you like it?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>My run was pretty good. I felt energized and even though I was still a bit sore from the intervals on Monday, it didn&#8217;t hinder my run in any way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/run11-e1279139996464.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3838\" title=\"run1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/run11-e1279139996464.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/run11-e1279139996464.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/run11-e1279139996464-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>I got to the Steele Bridge and heard the alarm sound. The bridge was going up so I turned around and took the stairs:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/stairs-e1279140072177.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3839\" title=\"stairs\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/stairs-e1279140072177.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/stairs-e1279140072177.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/stairs-e1279140072177-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>I took the stairs slowly and didn&#8217;t try to run up them. I have no intention of irritating my injury. I ran across the top of the Bridge and came back down to the waterfront on the other side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/bridge-e1279140462354.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3841\" title=\"bridge\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/bridge-e1279140462354.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/bridge-e1279140462354.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/bridge-e1279140462354-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>The rest of the run was pretty uneventful. I knew my time wouldn&#8217;t be great because of the detour but I was okay with that. I cross the Hawthorne Bridge and took the stairs back down to the Waterfront and continued running. Then I ran passed this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/gelato.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3842\" title=\"gelato\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/gelato.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/gelato.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/gelato-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The picture isn&#8217;t great but trust me when I tell you it&#8217;s a Gelato stand on the waterfront! Dang it! If I had cash, I totally would have stopped for gelato.
