When you saturate your body you enable it to go the distance. Once you start working out it's too late. Your muscles swell and you sweat. You can't keep up. The better the quality of your workout, the better the gains. You know water's good for you, so drink up. You have to really try hard to drink too much.

I have a BIG cup so I'm not walking back and forth from the sink all day and right when my water is out I go back and fill it up even if I'm not thirsty.. It becomes habbit and you will drink even if you aren't thirsty and personally I like never feeling thirsty.

My mind is completely blank right now how many liters in a gallon? 2? 4?

I know I drink about 5-6 maby more cup fulls from that 1 liter cup.
