    Wicking headband (I have a few in rotation)
    Ear buds and ipod
    C9 Sports bra
    Tank Top
    Compression knee pants
    Anatomical Elite socks from Running Room
    Brooks Pure Cadence for short runs (under 5 miles) and Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12 for anything longer
    Polar FT60 with Chest Strap and Foot Pod

    I will bring my hand held water bottle if it a long run, along with the Cliff Shot Bloks and my phone.

    Basic running pants (compression style)
    Cotton t-shirt
    2 Bras - one regular/one sports bra - gotta keep the bounce to a minimum!
    Saucony Ride 4
    socks
    stopwatch

    Bug Spray (I run in the woods most of the time and the skeeters are vicious early in the morning)

    I keep a water bottle in my truck for the end of the run (I only run about 45 minutes) and stuff my keys in the hitch receiver while I'm gone. I do have a tiny Camelback backpack that I use for hiking that I'm thinking about trying out since it's super lightweight and has a really low profile.

    Lightweight breathable shirts/tanks & shorts, clothes that have a barely there feeling. I go for running shorts with 'bloomers'.
    Thin & lightweight sports bras (Not blessed, but blessed in my opinion, in the boob dept) love Target's
    Polar FT4 heart rate monitor
    Arm band for my Iphone - I run the C25k app, Runkeeper & some type of music
    Gummy headphones or not, I'll just let my phone play out loud sometimes. I've never had a problem hearing cars, people, dogs, etc. I've realize that I'm very aware of my surroundings.
    I carry pepper spray if I'm running alone. I run in areas I'm familiar with though and most of the people that I run near have even told me about their dogs, etc. I live in a small town, even the police recognize me when running now.
    Brooks PureFlow shoes. Def get fitted, it's taken me a few pairs of shoes to find the right ones even still but I love mine now.
    No sunglasses or hat, love the feeling of the sun beating down on me but def sunscreen!
    Bottle of water, I feel like I don't know what to do with my hands otherwise. Plus I tried to not take water one day and had to turn around and go get one.
    Key if I'm not parking at a family member's house, but then I just tuck it in the handy little pocket built into most of my shorts.

    I run/walk 3-4 miles every other day. At first I thought all of this was a hassle but now when I get 'suited up' I feel soooo ready to get going!

    Brooks (dyad 6) running shoes, thorlo socks, running short, tech shirt, ball cap and glasses... phone with bluetooth earbuds.

    I run on a city park trail so there are water fountains near the start of the 1 mile loop, so I don't carry water, even in the heat.

    Shorts, tank, sports bra, sunscreen, iPod and road ID dogs. Simple, not cluttered. I'm out to run, not look good. I don't carry water unless it's long distance (greater than 5 miles/1 hr).

    For short runs:
    Hair tie, sports bra, wicking tank top or shirt, running capris or shorts, good socks and my Brooks Ghost 4 shoes. Polar F7 HRM. Occassionally I'll use my ipod.

    For long runs:
    Same as above except I add my hydration belt and carry my keys and sometimes a snack in there since I usually run those around a lake nearby that does not have any water fountains.

    A tip I learned for not drinking water on short runs is to chew gum instead. I just tried that out recently (not sure why I didn't think of that before!) and it really made a big difference because it keeps your mouth from getting dried out, which was really the only reason why I would drink water before.

    I wear a headband, sports bra and tank or tee, HRM, running shorts (w/ built-in briefs), armband w/ iPhone (keeping volume low enough to hear traffic sounds), dri-fit socks, and my Mizunos.

    Looking into getting some sunglasses, but I'm worried they'll annoy me.

    Lightweight visor
    Smith sunglasses
    Athleta or Brooks tank (w/rear pockets)
    Garmin 405

    Iphone and sometimes headphones, if I want some tunes. (I don't listen to music when trail running)
    Super light windbreaker that I can roll up and stuff into a pocket, if need be (if it's cool, another layer if it's really cool)
    Shorts in warmer weather, running capris or compression capris for cooler weather
    Running socks
    Nike Lunarglides or Saucony Kinvaras for road, trail shoes for trail

    Nike tank-top with a built in bra (I prefer these because I have a small chest and sports bras make my back sore)
    Old beat up t-shirt or an old camisole
    Basketball shorts
    Then I have a water bottle that has a strap so it's easy to carry while I run. It's also got a pocket for my keys.

    comfy clothes, good sports bra, headband to keep my hair away from my face, capris, good sneakers. I also recently bought a waistband pouch (looks like a mini fanny pack lol) that holds my phone and keys so I don't have to hold anything when I run). Once it gets hotter outside, I'll wear sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen. Hope that helps :)

    I'm wondering what everyone wears when they go for a run outside. It seems like most people listen to music, but the thought of not hearing the things going on around me kinda freaks me out. I've also seen that some people carry pepper spray for dogs (or creeps probably.) What clothes do you wear? A hat? Sunglasses? What kind of shoes (I know I need to get fitted, just curious?) I'm on week 3 of C25K and looking forward to running outside after I get to running longer stretches at a time (I'm on my treadmill now.) Just trying to get a sense of what I might want to wear when I brave the great outdoors. Also, don't you get thirsty?? I sip water while I'm on my treadmill but can't imagine I'd want to carry water on an outdoor run. Any tips for a novice runner would be great.
    I run outside. :glasses:

    I do listen to music, but didn't at first for the same reason you mentioned - I wanted to be able to hear things around me. Once I got comfy with my route, I added the music, low enough volume that I can hear traffic, etc.

    I wear: shorts/capris/tights, wicking tank or tee, hat or visor, sunglasses (rain or shine!), Asics Kahana 6 shoes, iPhone in an armband, knife tucked into my waistband, Road ID on my wrist, HRM & watch.

    It is HOT here, so although I prefer to wear stretchy pants of some kind to hide the jiggle, I suck it up and wear Old Navy running shorts ($12 a pair!!). Sports bra and either a thin t-shirt or a tech shirt. LSU visor and sunglasses most days because it's hot and sunny. I have an arm band with my iphone in it for my running apps and music. I run against traffic and wear both earbuds unless I'm with a buddy, and then I wear only one and tuck the other into my shirt.

    When I was training for the half marathon I would run in an area where I could double back and get some water from a bottle I hid in the back of my husbands truck. I hate to wear a belt. I stick to training for shorter distance races now so I don't have to worry about it. I could go about 2 hours without water if I need to.
