    Phone is my ipod - which goes into my arm band. Arm band has a key holder so that is where my key goes. There's nothing else you really need that you cant wear around your arm/waste, etc when out for a run.
    i also have my sweat rag, but I just fold that over waistband of my pants while out running and use it as needed, then put it back.

    The jacket I wear for my runs zips closed so I don't have to worry. But my son made me a shoulder pocket that I can wear underneath too if I switch jackets. I mentioned it and he literally made one for me out of jeans.... :laugh:
  • Armband for my iPhone, dog tags for ID (and driver's license with iPhone), and hide my keys inside fender, or tie it to my shoelace.

    I tie my key onto my shoe and carry nothing else.

    I read thru the comments and got some more ideas for myself. I currently use the wrist wallet but I know I'm going to hate it when the weather gets warmer. So I looked into the SPIBelt and LOVED it so I just ordered mine and I also saw the Road ID bracelet mentioned and never heard of it. Did some research and thought it was a great idea, especially since I have an allergy to a very common pain medication. Just placed my orders for both and only spent $40 for both things, great price!!
    Thank you all for the suggestions!!

    I put my key (car/house) and ID in my arm band (I have room in the arm band for such yay!) for my iPhone!

    That is so awesome! You will be so pleased with both products!
  • I actually only have one pair of running pants and they have tiny little pockets, I am always scared of losing something out of them. But I've started to just close them up with a safty pin when I leave. It works for poor people like me xD

    Armband for the phone, and it has that little pocket like some have mentioned. I run from home, so don't usually need to bring a key. For ID, I bought a RoadID - has all my info, DL#, who to call, etc, in case something happens & I can't speak for myself while I'm out there. http://www.roadid.com/Common/default.aspx

    For odd times that I run away from home (ha, run away from home :tongue:) or am doing a race, I have a runner's belt for stashing keys, cash, a credit card or my actual DL - http://www.nathansports.com/our-products/runners-paks-music-carriers/runners-paks/shadow-pak

    Picked up both my armband and my running belt at TJ Maxx for a lot less than retail. :smile:

    Phone for tunes in one hand. Keys in the other. Wallet stays locked up at home.
  • I wear a pouchkey, it wraps around my thigh and looks great with booty short,

    women's clothing usually has small pockets, but we are used to carrying our phone keys and ID,

    therefore pouchkey is a great functional accessory solution,

    you can check it out at: pouchkey.etsy.com

    When I was in the army, I put the ID and key in my shoe. NOW, I use an arm band. :)

    I use my jacket and/or running short and/or pants pockets, phone armband, Nathan vest pockets, or Nathan hydration belt pockets.
