    I wear tights that has 2 tiny pockets, I only carry a key and head lamp since it's getting dark much earlier now. Don't carry an ipod or cell phone. I'll soon have my roadID wrist band.

    I have one of those sport armband things for my iPod, although I can't figure out how to wash it, so it smells like hell. I used to carry my school ID in my shoe so I can get back into the dorms after a run, but I recently bought shorts with a pocket. I usually run with a water bottle, and drop it halfway through my run.

    buy an iPod shuffle

    i keep an old empty bag of potato chips in the back of my truck, and just keep the keys in there, and mix it in with everything else. sometimes i'll even bring an old worn out sock, and roll the keys up in there.

    It depends on what I'm running and for how long.

    Everyday runs: iPod on armband, keys in shorts pocket

    Long runs/trail runs: hydration backpack with pouch for cell phone

    Races: amphipod's "micro pack" that clips into my shorts for keys and Gu and stuff...can't even tell it's there

    I just carry my iPod nano in my hand, since I like to frequently change tracks mid-run (I'm finicky!).  As for keys, I just slip my one car key or home key into my sports bra, along with a little bit of cash and a paper copy of my ID.

     Never bothered to bring my cell phone (it's a Blackberry Curve, so kinda on the bulky side).  I usually run where there are plenty of people though....  Do you guys think it's super important to keep a cell phone on you?  I kinda like not being reachable for a certain period of time.

    I DO need to carry kleenex with me on all runs b/c my nose runs like crazy whenver I exercise! If my shorts or pants don't have pockets, I neatly fold about 4 or 5 tissues and tuck them into the waistband of my shorts/pants.

    I bought a great hip water bottle pouch from target. it holds my water bottle and Ipod and has a very small zipper pouch (right behind where the ipod goes) that fits my phone (treo) and keys. It is not cumbersome or heavy. Much better than shoving all that stuff somewhere in pockets and lighter than the sports pouches with multiple water bottlers (Like the Helium).

    I put my ipod in a little holder on my arm and carry phone and inhaler one in each arm to be balanced, also use big over the head headphones so they don't fall off! xx

    I don't bring much with me. I have a small inside pocket on my shorts for a key. Kleenex in a shorts pocket. If I need to bring phone, I have an arm holder for an ipod. My mp3 hangs on my belt clip.

    If I have to run with anything I will run with my back pack on.  I usually run to work in the mornings and I keep my work clothes and other stuff in there.  I just make sure it is tight to my back so it doesn't jump around too much.  It works out pretty good for me.

    Sohngj - Tissues in the waistband of my shorts would be generally useless after about 10 minutes. I usually don't carry my Blackberry as I am not running in isolated areas, but when I go on a long run, I do. Mostly to make my wife happy. Since I am also carrying a waterbottle in a hip belt on long runs, I stick the Blackberry Curve into the pocket it has.

    Haha, rpetreccajr.  I forget that most people sweat way more than I do.  Even at full exertion, I am not nearly as sweaty as anyone else around.  I guess I'm weird like that.

    For those carrying kleenex, I'd refer you to the forum on boogers/snot rockets:

    http://www.mapmyrun.com/community/discussion/8389/

    I, too, was apprehensive at first, but this has since revolutionized my winter training - and it's been useful in the summer as well. Never again fumble with sweaty (or not) tissues in the middle of a workout.

    One of my local tri mags was advertising the urban tool sports holster.  http://www.urbantool.com/hq/sportholster Looks really good for shorter runs. You can throw some gel packs, your Ipod and wallet.  I've also found that wrapping my Ipod and wallet in Glad Press and seal is a good way  of waterproofing it when running in the rain.  http://www.glad.com/plasticwrap/pressnseal.php

    Happy running

    I carry as little as possible. I put my house key on a saftey pin and pin it to my waistband. My car key is on a pin too for trail running. I have my ipod on a clip.

    when i do longer runs or am not running from the house I love my Spibelt. It is a little belt with a pocket that expands. It will hold a small phone, keys, etc, or several packets of goo.. They also come with clips to pin your race number to, but I don't like the number rubbing against my legs and end up folding it up. http://www.spibelt.com

    I carry my key ring around one finger on either hand, and everything else (usually just my id) in my bra. Once, during a race, I got a locker at the mall nearby to put my purse in, and it prints out a receipt with the code to open the locker. I put the receipt in my bra, thinking nothing of it, but then went to get it after the race, and I sweat so much it had disintegrated. Lol. I had to call security to open the locker for me.

    I only run with keys, so I usually end up doing the same thing ediblecrayonz does and just wear the keyring like a ring and hold them in my hand.  Again, except for long runs (9 miles+) I don't carry anything else.  On the longer runs my water bottle has a small pocket in it's holster that can hold my phone and keys, and again I use my hands to hold the bottle which holds the keys :).

    Oh yeah, and I recommend a RoadID or something of the sort.  I like having it since it has your personal info on it and can also have emergency contacts, blood type, etc.  I like this option since I hate being distracted by whether or not my ID is still in my pocket or not.

     Kleenex...ha!  that's what shirt sleeves are made for :)  Or just do the snot rocket thing :)

    I usually run with absolutely nothing but a pair of shorts on.  I'm not big into being plugged in and connected by brining a personal audio device or a cell phone, but I should probably keep some sort of identification and a house key with me.  I have a keypad garage but the battery runs out more frequently than it should.

    Of course, I don't go on super long runs (I haven't gone above 5 miles too often), so I don't need to worry about bringing hydration or electrolytes or anything.

    I use Ultimate Direction--water belt. It holds my cell, id, metro pass, key, money and I'm sure it could hold a packet of refueling gel too. It's great and can be clipped high or low on your waist. All my runs are an hour or more.

     I hope that helps. Laughing

    I run with only my cell phone, house key, pass and visa card.  My running shirt has a little pocket with a zipper where I can put it.  I also sometimes carry a fuel belt that has a pouch and I can put things in there too.

    Hope that helps,

    Elaine
