Fuck you.
But nice job.

Do you run with a water bottle?
I have a little 12oz one with a hand grip you can loop over your palm, but you can get 20oz bottles - or however big the ones on bikes are, they're the same size. It takes a little getting use to having something on your hand like that, but I really like mine because it has a little pouch that I can keep my Shot Bloks in, or Gu if that's your thing (yuck).
Running water bottles (and belts) are stupidly expensive, but if you know someone that's handy with a sewing machine and you have a water bottle off a bike or something you could make your own hand grip for a couple bucks worth of elastic. Or just shell out the $20 and buy one - it's worth it.
