New product and a hard decision!!!

As summer approaches, I really forgot how humid and HOT it gets here in SC. It could be 50 degrees outside but the humidity is AWEFUL. I sweat walking to my car, which is 10 steps from my front door. Oh yeah BAD!! So as I am trying to get my body use to this weather on LRS,
I was realizing that I was sweating so much, my clothes were drenched and they are sweat wicking material. I really started to look at a fuel belt. BUT I hate anything around my waist. I don't like being constricted around my waist. I like to flow, which you really don't flow when your running. But I did get a Nathan fuel belt with 2 10 oz bottles for whatever drink you want. I want to fill mine up with a ice cold margarita BUT I think I will be more drunk then hydrated. So water will do. It has pockets out the wazoo which I love cause I was tying my keys to my garmin and putting other things in my sports bra. But after 3 times of trying to adjust it, it really worked. However by mile 5 I was out of water cause my dumb arse at the time thought one 10 oz would be enough to do 10.5 miles. Umm nope I need water. I was looking for water hoses just to get some, not available lol. But I like it and the bottles stay put, if you put them in the right way and it really is true, you can run and drink at the same time. Water that is:)!!!

Now on to decisions: I found out the other day that early registration for the charleston half/ full marathon is open an you can get it for a great price until September 2nd. So I have thought off an on about running a full which is 26.2 miles. Now running that is going to hurt. I have already thought of plans, gels, breaks and time. What scares the the out of me is the training runs which include 18-20 milers. I don't know why they scare the shit out of me. I need about 20 weeks to train. So I'm thinking of starting in the freaking dog days of summer which is late August, early September which we a know its not even remotely cool. Yeah I need one of those 10 ozs to be some sort of alcohol drink. A pink lady sounds awesome!! So I haven't really committed. I mean I think I'm there to be honest, I just don't know that I'm THERE. I would love to do one, I'll be 33 and it's on my bucket list. The course is flat and it would make me feel like a real real badass!!! Who knows. I have until August to really decide but I could just freaking pay for it so I can't back out!! Which y'all think??? Another beautiful run in charleston?? Ummm
