    I only have a key fob for my car and it fits securely in the pocket on any of my running pants/skirts. For ID I wear a RoadID on my wrist. I rarely carry my phone.

    Spi Belt

    I also use the Spi Belt for most of my runs. It's flexible and allows you to hold various things in there. I also have a small waterbottle that could be attached to the strap.

    I will admit---on days I just want to run and I'm not going too far--I just tie my car key to my shoe lace real tight. But, I don't really recommend it--it puts unnecessary pressure on your nerves/feet.

    For my marathon training runs, I use a full-running belt-- has 2 water bottle holders and multiple pockets for energy supplements, etc.

    i haven't read the whole thread but spibelts work, little zippered pockets in your sportswear, RoadID. carry my phone only occasionally, if I'm out alone or in the dark - it fits perfectly in the back pocket of a pair of running pants I bought for that reason :)

    I have an expandable, rain resistant joggers pouch that I carry a credit card, small cash, iphone and keys.. with slots on the side for some Gu for those long runs... I am overly cautious of my phones so I put it in a sandwich bag to keep any sweat or rain from ruining it. :drinker:

    Separate your car/house key from the rest and buy a good quality hook from the key cutting shops. Most training appendages will have somewhere for you to clip your keys on. Go for something inside a pocket if you can though. I hook my key onto the strap link where my bra shoulder strap hooks on to the cup and I tuck it under the fabric. It doesn't bother me at all when it's one small key. You can also get those slim traveller's accessories for holding keys, money etc under your clothes. There are loads of options really when you think about it. My phone goes into an armband, along with a small amount of emergency cash/ID etc in behind it. I tried that out for Sydney City2Surf last year and it worked a treat.

    I have a snug, thin fanny pack kinda thing. It's not bulky like a typical fanny pack would be, but can easily fit cash, cards, keys and my phone.

    I have a sleeve for my iPhone and use it as a gps and for my music. It has a key holder, but I've lost my key from there so now I either put my key in my glove or in my bra (key is not as lucky as one would hope). I can tuck my ID behind my phone in the sleeve.

    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 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!!
