As the Florida Heat sets its sights on another hot summer I decided to bite the bullet and go buy a hydration belt. I don't want the heat to deter me so I got the four-bottle model Nathan Speed 4 with two pockets (small in front and a big one in the back) which includes enough room for a cell phone and some food (gel, beans, etc) if needed. I figure if I'm going to be running long runs in the "sunshine" state I best be prepared. I'm going to try it out this weekend I will let you know how I like it.This mornings workout was an interval workout. I must say these things are real killers I had 7 intervals scheduled at a 8.0 mph speed for 400m then I would jog to 70% HR (at around 4.5 mph). In the end I ran 3.25 miles in 32:04 that equates to around a 9:50 mile (or 6.1 mph). I must admit the last two intervals were painful...but in a good way.
Tomorrow is weights and easy 3 mile run. I'm planning on running it at a real easy pace as I want to be strong for the weekend.

More power to you. I am going to have to learn to run with a hydration belt, but I just don't like the way they feel or look. I've been running further and further though and the weather's getting warmer so I'm going to have to start. Let me know how you like that one.
