they are called Camelback if i am not mistaken and i had one when i moved here but the water pouch, in this humidity was so covered in i dunno even what, that it was so disgusting that I would never have drunk from it ever again.
I was looking at some dude's blog lately and i don't recall his name but he was exercising and eating almost entirely meat and saw great gains or something.
What are you trying to accomplish? Weight loss? Better cardio? become a morning person?
Oh, good point. I wouldn't have considered what the humidity might do to something like that. Sounds like quite the science experiment. I have actually been trying to cut down on my red meat intake, so I don't think I want to go back down that path. I think ultimately I am trying to lose some weight and maybe get to the point where I could run a 5k one day. My friend who is a little older than me having a heart attack on top of my cancer fight has really given me some perspective.
hike a 5k dude. Running in a straight line is beyond us at this point and it is boring as hell. I know you have access to trails... maybe track it... i bet you go further than most people do.
I hate street running and as you will see from my most recent post I am more than capable of distance running but I would want to go home as much as the next guy if my only choice was to run for the sake of running distance.... it simply is not how i believe people were meant to function.
I am hoping that my wife and I can do some more trail walking this Summer. I was toying around with getting some snow shoes at one point, but so far this Winter has been pretty light in the snow department for us :P. I used to walk on the treadmill when we had one. Yeah it was boring, but I knew I was doing something good for my body. At this point I am not being too picky about where or when I get the exercise. I just know I need it. I have a follow up Doctors appointment in a couple weeks and I am hoping to see some results on the scale. Plus I am keeping an eye on my clothes to see if they start having a little more give. Thanks for the awesome insight and input. I truly do value it.
