Pristine Hydro – My Choice for Water
I’ve been on the Water Hunt for a while now. I want to drink good, clean, alkaline water. I tried different ones and after my research choose Pristine Hydro. Maybe this video comes across a little pitchy but it wasn’t meant too. I just want you to hear the reasons for my choice.
Glen Caulkins the founder and his wife Ginger own a cool store right by the 5 freeway and El Toro Dr called GC 4 Health where you can bring in your bottles and fill them with this great water. Or, you can do what I do and buy a machine to make your water. That’s right you make your water. I made 8 gallons yesterday for the upcoming week.
I’m not going to rag about all the chemicals we drink every day in our bottled or tap water because you already know it. I just wanted to present my findings and choice after months of research.
If a Pristine Hydro system interests you, please let me know and I’ll set you up with a discount as they are working with me to provide SoCalRunning.com members with a great deal. Steve@SoCalRunning.com

My Catalina Marathon Garmin Data
So now I know it is almost 4,000 feet of elevation gain and 4,000 feet of loss over the entire length of the race. When you look at my heart race you’ll probably call me a sandbagger but hey, I was making one of my race movies and interviewed some really cool people.
