Runners- Any tips for carrying multiple gel packets?
Spibelt is already full, and will have no pockets on me.
I thought of safety pins and DH said duct tape. Any other secrets? Will have 4 of the honey stinger gel packets on me.

I've used safety pins to pin packs of sports jelly beans to my pants (on the inside of the waist). That worked fine for a half. For a full marathon I used a waist belt that has a big enough pouch for my iphone and 3 packs of jellybeans, and my ID.

my spibelt bounces when it is too full. I have my phone, id, room key, bandaids, and money in there so far.
another option would be to wear 2 of the spibelts...

or maybe just get a bigger one, but definitely try it out first. Mine doesn't really bounce, it didn't bother me at all during NYC.

that would be good, but I need it TODAY! And I am stuck home tonight with the 3 kids so its not gonna happen. I did go to Sports Authority earlier and bought one slightly bigger than the one I have. If I can't make one work I will just wear 2, one in front one in back.
Thank you though!!

I've heard that safety pinning to the inside of your shorts works, but I've never tried it myself. One tip was to pin above the tear line to you can just rip the gel off without having to unpin. Do you absolutely need your phone with you? Maybe you could put it in your checked bag instead? That would free up some room.
