Otherwise try the fuelbelt.

I don't often run with music, but when I do, I have a clip on my MP3 player that I snap onto my shorts.  Just make sure you tie off your shorts drawstring so the weight doesn't pull them down over the miles!

For races, I just have a car key and tie it into the drawstring on my shorts in the little pocket inside.

 I put my keys and a bit of money in a zip up flat pocket and inhaler and ipod in the flap-front pockets. I work "out bush" where there are few street lights, so ive attatched a head lamp to the waist belt too. As long as its tight-ish I dont tend to notice it.

I used to tie my key to my shoe laces, and I had an arm band for my Ipod, which was one of the bulky ones. I just got a new tiny mp3 player for running only, so thats much easier to carry.

 If I run with music I have a small practically weightless MP3 player that stays in my shorts pocket.

The ipod should clip onto your waistband.  I have an armband for it but never bothered to use it.

Every pair of running shorts I've ever owned have at least one little pocket inside the front that will hold one key, one id card and cash.

 Good running shorts usually have a pocket inside the front, that's where I keep my key and I'm sure cash could fit in there, although I've never tried.  An ID may be hard to fit in there, but I never carry one.  I got one of those ID tags where you can fill out your name, emergency contact, allergies, medications, and blood type and clip it onto your shoe.  I actually think it's better than carrying an ID because it gives more information and you don't have to worry about finding a place to put it. 

 Hope that helps!

 you can eve just thread your house key through your shoe laces and its works fine....better off just buying running shorts and pants, they all have a money/key pocket and they are more comfortable anyway

The problem with pockets is that things can fall out. Same for sports bras because as you move, the material gives a little. I found that, when I didn't have the fanny pack, the other best place to tuck things is in your sock, but it can't hold much, isn't so comfortable, and things are likely to work their way up out of it once you get moving for long distance.

 brilliant

As far as music goes I agree with basically what everyone else said with regards to either ipod shuffles or armbands for your current mp3 player. If you're really looking for convenience though, I found a pair of earphones at the Apple store that have a port to plug an ipod shuffle directly into it.

Good luck

I have an Ipod Nano. Super cool with a video screen and all. Of course I don't watch videos when I run! I have a holder with a clip on it that I clip to my shorts.

but if you have like money you can put it under your insole and keys you can put in your shoelaces

They work quite well.  Cell Ph, + keys + Gels or just as much as you can stuff into it. 

 I run almost every morning but it's a local route and I'm not getting far - about 3-5 miles in a loop.

I've got a sports belt-pack that is like a fanny-pack. Big enough to hold a cell, wallet, my Zen Stone, keys, and even a digital camera if I'm feeling froggy and wanna video my race.

That's quite a bit of extra weight to haul around though. If I was competing and expected to actually win something, I'd put my key on the drawstring and run without music (some races don't allow mp3 players anyway.

I need to get an ID card though with emergency contacts on it, Name and home phone. No allergies yet, other than one to mowing the lawn. :-)

Note about the Rad ID.  I have had it for a couple of years and the info plate is starting to rust so if Jam922 ever has to come get me I hope he has his glasses.

 Peace

It never occurred to me to have id on me when I run but that is a great idea. I'll have to give it some thought. I do have an emergency contact programmed in my phone, and I ALWAYS have my phone with me.
