Drink Enough Water?

An article my mother sent me today helped answer questions I had about water consumption: How do I know how much water to drink per day? Does it really have to be 8 glasses?

Water: How Much Should You Drink Every Day

From the calculations in the article I may have been a little short some days with my hour long runs, but I have not been too far off the mark.

The article my mother sent through got me curious about whether or not there is a real link between weight loss and water consumption. Apparently so. The study discussed on WebMD found that drinking your eight glasses a day (if you are not already doing so) does increase your metabolic rate, which helps you lose weight. Bottoms up!
