    huh. This is why MFP is awesome. It has literally never occurred to me to carry ID and I didn't know RoadID existed until I read this thread. Thanks guys!

    Those road ID things that go on your shoes are pretty awesome.

    Phone number. I have the interactive one due to some medical stuff (like that fact that I, uh, tend to not heal after surgery). Totally worth the couple bucks a year in my opinion.

    KInd of a hassle, but I take my driver's license out of my wallet and take it along. Then when I'm done, I put it back in the wallet.

    thanks. My only surgeries have been c-sections and I dont foresee me running anytime after if I have another one.
    I am considering the interactive one. Then I can add all my medical insurance info and everything and easily update my emergency contacts

    My speck iPhone case holds my credit, ID, and bus pass. Sometimes I throw in cash, that way I can get home if I hit the wall (training for a half marathon in a calorie deficit, me and the wall became well acquainted)

    I take my phone and a laminated business card. In case of emergency, I want someone to know who I am and not where I live.

    I have a road ID as well.
    I have:
    my name - DOB (month/year)
    City, State
    hubby's name and phone #
    parents phone #
    blood type & insurance info
    a quote

    Before I got the road ID, I put my DL in my phone case and have my hubby as ICE.

    Well I have my medic alert bracelet I put on when I go running (type 1 diabetic) so I'm assuming that should be enough (it has an emergency number on there).

    I was actually thinking about this recently. I fell last week and thought instantly if I was knocked unconscious no one would know who I was. I now run with a running wallet on my wrist with my id in it.

    I had a shoe tag that is reflective and has velcro on both ends so that it can be slipped between laces and closed like a little bracelet for my laces. There is space to write name, address, blood type, etc. Very handy. But I never leave home without my ID and my insurance card...just in case. I wrap them in a baggie or saran wrap so they don't get moist from being near my sweaty self. :smile: I ran three marathons and all my training runs were LONG. I tripped once and got really hurt and had to limp home. That was the day I started carrying my insurance card....just in case a good Samaritan takes my bloody self to the hospital. Safe running!

    I carry my phone a couple yen, a couple dollars, and my MIL id just in case I decide to run off post. That way I can get back through the gate :P
