I don't know, but my guess is that the bottle has a gel liner so you can put it in the fridge/freezer so your water stays colder longer. Nice wide-mouth screw top so you can use ice cubes. My bicycle bottle has some sort of liner for that purpose although it doesn't work that well. Luke warm water in a bicycle bottle is gag-worthy. :yuk: They didn't have this fancy gear when I was racing back in the dark ages :H I never could drink water while running. It gave me a stitch in my side every time.

Wellllll... no. Apparently gel is some product you ingest. DG, I'll let you go ahead and try that out. Let us know how you like it. If AA was around, I bet he'd know. I bet Techie knows.

The gel pouch could also be for products such as "Cliff Shots" "Powergel" or "Gu" which are little packets of gel composed of complex carbohydrates, etc that you use for an energy boost during long runs. Some taste pretty good; others are pretty gross. See for example...

Energy Gels - Energy Gels and Energy Chews for Long Runs and Marathons

AFM, that sounds a LOT like what happened to me to make me stop, yes, I was scared straight! I too woke up in the hospital, I didnt even know they had a catheter in me, my wife told me.

Crazy as it sounds, Im glad it happened to me

The neighbor, hospital, and IV thing happened to me too. Amazing we are all still alive with the things we do to our poor bodies and minds that impact our very essence.

I have to say I am very grateful I have never woken up in the hospital or worse not knowing how I got there. AFM that was the scariest story evah!! Lesson learned now right??

DG-look at you being the running woman!! I'm very proud of you for sticking to the program. You'll be running a 5k in no time!!
I have no experience with hydration tools for running so all this is very interesting!

Got call I missed from one of the jobs=-#1. I'm pretty sure when I call back tomorrow I'll be offered the position. Salary is going to be a huge consideration. Then I'll need to call job #2 and find out what the status is. I''m hoping when I tell them I have another offer they'll get their arses in gear and either tell me to tak the other job or offer me theirs. Then I get to choose!! In a perfect world.

The other exciting nerve racking news is that I spoke with the RV guy yesterday who was checking out my camper. although the insid is in mint condition, he said in order to put brakes on the rig I would need a new axle along with the wheels, tires and bearings. Quoted me over $1k without the labor. I almost fainted!! Was ready to put the thing up for sale right then and there. He said he would call the axle company for prices and when I called back today he had the best news!! Turns out they found one drum/brake in the shop that would fit the axle I had AND when he called the axle company they said they actually had 2 brakes left that would fit my axle. No need for a new one! AND he says my wheels are good-no need to replace yet. Tires will be looked at tomorrow. The electrical set up that runs the running lights etc was cut and not hooked up so that needs to be fixed but other than that I'm good! I'm now hoping I can tow that thing out of there Mem Day weekend and only be out around $500. That leaves me with more than enough to get it painted at some point and buy the material to girlie up the inside as well as maybe even buy that portable AC unit!! My car goes in tomorrow to get the tow package installed and new brakes. So this is really happening!

Thank you all for allowing me to feel 'safe' to share this story. It was very scary, but in many ways, I am glad that it happened. I kept testing the waters; drinking every few months more than ever before. Faster than ever before. Who was I kidding?

This was truly a blessing in disguise for me.

Nelz and lucky - thank you for sharing.... seriously. Much love to you both.
