For those of you that run/jog..

What do you use to carry some of your personal items? For example, your house keys? Whenever I used to go out for a jog I never knew what to do with my keys . Most of my 'running/workout' clothes don't have pockets.

Also, if you use an iPod when running, where do you put it? Do you use one of those armband holders?

TIA!

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

I use an armband for my ipod and my running shorts/pants usually have a little zipped pocket. Otherwise I live in a building so either my husband is home or leave the key with my doorman.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

The running shorts I have now have pockets, so that's where I keep my keys and Ipod.

Before when I was to cheap to invest in a good pair of running shorts, I used to tie my keys in my shoelace (I know, ghetto ) and just stick my ipod in the elastic of either my shorts or my sports bra.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

I wear running pants from Nike that have a

lil pocket on back side of pants. Or I lock my

keys in my car (I have key pad entry).

I use arm band for my ipod. I carry a small

mace spray in my wrist band or the small

pocket in back of pants.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

I tie my house key to my shoelace.

I do not run with an i-Pod as I do not think it is safe. I do have a arm band which I use when I am at the gym.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

Thanks all. I guess I'll have to invest in these fabulous pants with pockets!

DH works from home, so it's rare that I need a key, but I will tie it to my shoe or lock it in my car. Or if it's a long run where I use a fuel belt, it can go in there. I have a few pairs of shorts with zipper pockets


I like to hold my ipod. I'm very particular to what song I'm listening to. and it can change from day to day or type of run.

Be careful about an ipod in your bra. I use to do that (just in the strap) and I killed mine from sweat.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

My handheld water bottle has a small pocket with a key ring for when I drive to the preserve.

A lot of bloggers I follow use a SPI Belt for personal items.

ETA: I have a tune band for my iPhone.

I love Nathan running gear stuff! They have great waistbands to hold all your stuff, including cell phones!

Its all free shipping on this site too!

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

I use something similar to a fanny pack that has a zipper on each side. I think it's called Nathan's waist band or something like that.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

I hold my keys in one hand & my cell phone in the other, if I am running outside.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

lululemon (sp?) has a hat in its clearance section for $19 that has a small pocket with a zipper in it. i just ordered one to wear when my clothes dont have pockets. the description of the hat says it fits a key or metrocard.

also target and old navy sell really affordable running gear with the hidden pocket that you can fit a key and another
small item.

as for ipod i use an arm band, still struggle with the cord from headphones but i like having my hands free especially if its a run over 3 miles.

hth.

When I run with my jogging stroller, I put everything in my cup holder.

When I run by myself, I hold my iPod (like OP said, I need control of the songs) and put my phone in my shorts/pants pocket. I usually don't need keys if I am running by myself because someone is at my house with DD.

Re: For those of you that run/jog..

i wear lululemon clothes because there's tons of pockets for stuff! i put my ipod in the little open pocket in the front waistband, my key in the zipper pocket on my hat, and license or c/c in zipper pocket on the back of my pants. their jackets have even more pockets! and some even have little hooks for ipod cords so they don't get caught on you. before that though, i used an ipod armband and tied my house key to my shoelaces.

Arm band for my iPod and if I need to carry a key like when I run a race, I take just the remote for my truck and attach a hair tie to it and loop it around my sports bra strap and tuck it inside. You could do the same with your house key.
