It took 3-4 runs before I felt comfortable carrying a water bottle. But now I don't even notice it. You may want to try it for a few tries to get used to it.

I stopped wearing my hydration belt because it made my hip flexors, back, and pelvis hurt. It took me a while to realise what was going on, but once I stopped, I felt SO much better.

I use a Camelbak pack right now (and have for a long time) but I'm thinking about the others. The 2L gets me up to about 20 miles in normal weather, fewer miles in heat.

Interesting - I don't get along with a backpack-style Camelbak because it kills my neck and shoulders, but I have a lumbar Camelbak that I love. No problems with it. I alternate between the lumbar Camelback and carrying a bottle.
