Many of us runners are creatures of habit, running the same routes and sticking to the same equipment. That said, I often carry water on my long run routes on the trails. The pack I've been using for the past couple years fits poorly, often drops the bottles and I dread wearing it. Of course, it was expensive, has great reviews in all the run publications and I see others using the same pack  all the time so I've bull headedly soldiered on. I finally tried a new hand held carrier that I no longer dread. Duh. Of course, I have yet to replace my running watch that never seems to stay on the function I want it on because the thing just won't die. Somebody smack me.

If it sucks give it up,
