Family park day again.  Teren runs while I watch the kids, and then I run while he plays with them.  It works out well, and is fun for everyone.  Plus, I got 8 soft-surface miles in before my big twenty miler tomorrow.  

I ordered some hammer gels, Recoverite, and Perpetuem from Hammernutrition.com.  I was impressed that I got my order 2 days after placing it.  Plus, they sent a huge bag of samples of their products . . . probably at least a good 30 dollars worth of products.  I was pretty impressed with their customer service.  It will be interesting trying them out.  I actually like hammer gels above other energy gels.  

I get to use my own bottles at St. George.  What do people like to use for fueling, and how often, during marathons.  I'm looking for some good suggestions.

I've used nalgene wash bottles with an attached straw... they work great (ie. no choking!)... last year I was able to search around online and eventually found them cheap on amazon.

Whatever you put in it... just practice with it.
