Runners/ walkers... question for you!

[iheartdisney]

What do you use to hold your stuff?

I just started walking regularly a few months back, and as the weather is starting to warm up, I know my hoodie pocket will not be an option for much longer to hold my car keys, water bottle and phone.

I don't even know where to start here. Pants with pockets, but that wouldn't help with the water bottle, and i am not intense enough to go to a full camelbak.
Any help would be awesome!

I use a fuel belt, I carry my water, phone, MP3, keys if needed,
I look silly but I don't care
Like this, but I added 2 pockets

I use Camelbak Delaney running belt, and LOVE it! I can carry my water bottle, cell phone, keys, & a granola bar. You can buy it on Amazon, or Camelbak website...if you want to try it on, I think both EMS and REI carry them. Once you wear them (it should be tight around your waist), it's really comfortable - it doesn't bounce.

Hope this helps!

I used a SPIbelt for work (http://www.spibelt.com/). It's good for holding a phone, iPod, keys and cash. I would like to get something to hold water though!

I use that too. But I agree, I'd like something more to hold water now...I got too dehydrated at the WDW half....

I use a spibelt and put my phone, key fob to get into my building, and just my keys to my house. I have an armband for my ipod. I really suggest putting the keys you absolutely need to have on your run (car/house/whatever) on their own little key ring so you can easily take it off the larger key chain and pop them into the belt.

I use the iFitness belt: http://www.ifitnessinc.com/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=15
The middle pocket hold my key and phone (which I use for music and tracking using runkeeper) 2 small water bottles and it has two loops for my Gu Gel. It's comfy and doesn't ride up or bounce while I'm running.
I bought it at the Princess half expo but I've also seen it in the running shoe store at the mall.

I have a few things depending on what run I'm doing...

For races that I know will have a good amount of water stops (including Disney races), I use this Amphipod fuel belt. There's good airflow, so it doesn't get too hot, and it's got a bit of elastic for a good fit. I can fit a few fuel packets, my phone and keys inside. I almost never use this one for training runs:

For runs where I need a bit of water, I use this handheld bottle. It's pretty comfortable to hold and I can fit a house key and one gel inside:

I also have this waist pack that has a compartment for gels and a water bottle. I don't like this one very much...no elastic, so the fit isn't as snug, and the compartment isn't as big as it looks:

When training for the WDW Full, I invested in a Camelbak Pack. SUCH a great purchase. Once you adjust it correctly it's pretty comfortable and it can hold 1.5 liters of water. It's got lots of pockets for phone, gels, keys, etc. The only downside is that it takes effort to keep it clean, but I think it's worth it to have so much water with me for long runs.

Different things work for different people...good luck finding something!

I don't know the brand but I got it at Marshalls for $5.99! The pack on mine is small but about double the size of a spibelt. Just enough space for a little cash, keys, and any kind of energy supplement (gels or whatever) you might want to carry with you.

I just got this one, but haven't tried it yet: http://www.target.com/p/Swiss-Gear-Middle-Fork-hydration-backpack/-/A-13855698?ref=tgt_adv_XSB10001&AFID=shopzilla_df&LNM=%7C13855698&CPNG=luggage&ci_src=10043468&ci_sku=13855698&szredirectid=13347946929870792700810040302008005

It is so much cheaper than a Camelbak, and I love Swiss Gear bags!

Just looked at mine. It's "travel tech". I also got my facts wrong, I got it at "Tuesday Morning", one of those liquidation stores.
