Love my fuel belt though and won't run without it. I usually wear it and take just one bottle even on short runs.<br /><br />I know you'll do fine on your 5 miler this weekend.

Mine is too, we're on the same victory path to a great half marathon! <br /><br />I have a water belt for running, just bought a new one with 2 pouches for my phone, Ipod and gels.
