Do you drink water while you run?

    Yes. If I go more than 7 miles I carry water or Gatorade with me (I have a bottle designed for runners). When go more than 10 I also use Gels which almost require water (to avoid stomach issues).

    After nearly passing out last summer due to lack of hydration and electrolytes, I am very careful to stay hydrated for the entire run.

    Thank you for all your suggestions. Taking small sips and swishing it around helped a ton. It got rid of that dry mouth feeling but didn't give me the sloshing feeling!
