Ty - for Jay I had a handheld that holds roughly 20oz. I used it to hold water (no sports drink), but I did accidently top it off with Heed at one stop.<br><br>
I don't know exactly how much I drank over the course of the event. (Jay is a 30+ mile race over some pretty rough terrain). I would guess that over the course of the day, I drank close to 60-70oz of water. I sipped every 15-minutes. I topped off my bottle at the aid stations. I ate salty potatoes, orange slices and pretzels at the aid stations. I had gels and cliff blocks too.<br><br>
I don't want to make it sound like I drink no water during a marathon, or long training run (or even short training runs for that matter). I just don't drink tons, I sip... over the course of a 20 mile run I probably drink 16-20oz - maybe a little more if it's a hot day. I'm sure I lose more than that... so I replenish after the run with sports drink and water.

I read a rule of thumb for "medium" sweaters that said at 55 deg F, you lose 17 oz of fluid per hour, and at 70 deg F you lose 27 oz fluid per hour. That should give you a ballpark for how much fluid to replace (i.e. in cooler weather it would obviously be less)<br><br>
Of course you know I have all this totally figured out LOL!

evening! I just got back from dinner with my mommy 2000 board friend. How fun to meet someone you've known forever <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> The kids had so much fun playing together too. It was really cute. At the end, they were exchanging phone numbers. Umm he lives in Ontario <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br><b>oh hey for any dillydalliers, the VRAA registration closes on Monday.</b>

Hi Batmomm! It sounds like you had a great time with your mommy friend. Was she as you expected? That's so cool you got to meet up.<br><br>
DS 5yrs has a 103.5 fever- he's my only one that doesn't get high fevers. The poor thing isn't very happy. We had a babysitter tonight too- so do I call her?

awww night Alemma!! Hope you can sleep well. I'm hoping I can. I didn't last night.<br><br>
Jen-poor ds. Does he feel crappy? that is high! Rachel's strep may have turned flu, I hope that's not what it is.

No I don't think she noticed. I'll give her a call in the morning. I really hope he doesn't get her sick. He'll be fine- I just have to wake him up in the middle of the night to give him more drugs.<br><br>
So are you taking a rest day Alemma- you really should. You would tell us too. 12 days straight isn't good. You'll be a stronger and better runner for it.

I hope you get some sleep Alemma! you too batmomm!<br><br>
I'm really hoping it's not the beginnings of the flu- although it sounds like it judging by the way he looks and has been coughing. I'm paranoid though. Oh I hope Andrew doesn't catch anything.

Oh poor Rachel! I hope K is okay.<br><br>
Are you excited for tomorrow- you're going to rock that race!! A dad from Kevin's basketball team and cub scouts is running it with his 5th grader.

Okay, now that I've taken up 90% of the page I'm off to bed.<br><br>
Alemma and batmomm- I hope you both get some much needed sleep tonight. I'm blowing that dust stuff from Peter Pan in your direction (I can't remember the name it).
