    You could do this instead of the mace.

    I'm actually looking into getting a thigh holster. Then the would be criminals would see I'm carrying. Plus, I think it would be hot.

    You could get implants and keep many, many things tucked in the cleave. Be sure to have an excellent sports bra. :smile:

    The boyfriend bought a boat instead with his "toy" money. I told him if he ever sells the boat implants count as toys.

    and I have running pants that have a couple of zippered pockets for a key and my ipod and phone.

    i don't carry weapons of any sort (mace, gun, japanese sword, etc)

    Only if you get squeaky ones. :P

    Someone suggested wearing a wrist band (like a tennis player) and wiping your brow with it. That seemed like a good idea.

    I just hike up my tshirt when I get really sweaty.

    I do use a SPIbelt to carry my iphone. You could also carry keys and pepper spray in it. It is basically a neoprene pouch that clips around your waist. I wear it under my shirt and you can't see it.

    Let me tell you about the river of sweat that I live through. Did you know, this is why we have eyebrows. Just occasionally wipe the excess off your forehead and you'll be okay.
    Also, does anyone use a fanny pack to carry their keys/phone, pepper spray, etc?

    I wear a wrist sweatband. I may look like someone who thinks he's John McEnroe but at least I don't get sore eyes. :)

    Anyone for tennis?

    I wipe my brow to prevent sweat running into my eyes. It's a novel idea ;)

    Fanny pack is perfect if you are a retired old man. Especially if you're wearing jorts and a hawaiian t-shirt.

    Thanks for the advice. Next time I shall simply wipe my brow with my also sweaty hands.

    Oh, and I saw a guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt with ripped off sleeves the other day. Just thought I'd share a whole new level of dork.

    You mean...I can hire that guy to run along next to me in his underwear?

    First off, they are no fanny packs...they are called "Spy Belts". ;-) I avoid the sweat by wearing a running visor or hat. That has sweat wicking material and does the same thing as a headband, but looks a lot cooler. Instead of a fanny pack, Nathan hydration belts or backpacks are really awesome. I use the 4 bottle belt, which is perfect for my long distance running or running mid-distances in extreme heat and humidity. Plus, it has a pouch to keep tissues and energy food. Some belts have a little more space. If you need some serious space, get a backpack. It's not as bulky or uncomfortable as it looks.

    As a Brit I just had to come here and laugh at the phrase 'fanny pack'.

    That is all.

    Wait what's it mean...I'm assuming sodomy? Can I say sodomy on MFP without getting a strike? I'm asking for educational reasons.

    What do they call fanny packs in the UK?

    It means vagina, pus-sy, minge, tw@t...all the good stuff. :P lol

    ETA: They're called hip packs. Some call them bum bags. ;)

    That would be an interesting place to carry your belongings. :laugh:

    That's awesome, I need to try rocking that look. Maybe with some camouflage shorts and sandals with socks?

    Oh, as for carrying stuff, I have one of these:

    It expands to accommodate a fat, old smartphone so the modern Android and iPhones will fit no problems.

    I wear a 'fanny pack' but it's small and honestly holds my pants up when I run so I love it!

    I always wear a headband. :)

    Don't worry what others think, if it makes your run more enjoyable (like having a place to hold my keys, cell phone is more comfortable in my fanny pack than my hands) then go for it!

    I'm a lifeguard so I'm required to wear a fannypack.. but I think that's a pretty good and hot excuse for wearing one! :P I could save your life with my fannypack!

    A life saving fanny pack would be nice. I would assume it is waterproof fanny pack since you are a lifeguard.

    When I walk or run I tend to sweat and sometimes the sweat drips into my eyes. This causes pain. I don't like pain. Would it look incredibly stupid to wear a head band? How do other people handle this problem. Also, does anyone use a fanny pack to carry their keys/phone, pepper spray, etc? Would you make fun of someone wearing a fanny pack? My friends said they would point and laugh.

    I wipe my forehead with my hand ... or my shirt. And I carry my car key in my shorts pocket but I don't like to carry anything else with me.

    If I saw your fanny pack, I wouldn't point and laugh. I'd probably make a funny comment to my running partner and she'd laugh, but neither of us would make eye contact with you so you wouldn't ever know .....

    Seriously - just wear whatever makes you the most comfortable.

    sure sure... I can imagine the "they were laughing at my fanny pack" thread now...

    I tried a fanny pack... could not stand it bouncing up and down, and didn't want to cinch that *kitten* any tighter than it was.
    I'll stick to as little as possible. :-P

    I would not laugh at you. Unless you posted pics. ; )

    Just do what you want. Who cares what anyone else thinks.

    I saw a fella riding his bicycle the other day on the trail. No big deal until you noticed he had his bike lock sticking out of his butt crack just like that. I didn't even have the energy to laugh. I was merely horrified.
