I used to scoff at the idea that I would ever be a runner. Now it's very deeply ingrained into who I am... Running completes me!
I never win anything here… but I’ll try again anyway 🙂 I just bought a fuel belt, but I’m intrigued by this top!!
I carry a Camelbak full of Infinit, some Powerbar GelBlasts (my new favorite thing!) and CHAPSTICK. I’m a chronic lip-licker.
Alright, someone else who carries a Camelbak other than me – I have to check out LVGurl’s site!
Ah yeah, I carry a lot of crap. Cell phone, advil, few gels, and or sports beans, sometimes some tissues, and Immodium (just in case, you never know when you might need it.) If I get hot, the Camelbak gets stuffed with my jacket – since I’m doing the layering thing nowadays. 🙂
Holy crap, what don’t I bring along? I run with a fuel belt which holds Accelerade. I usually fill all four with that so I’ll carry a bottle of water in my hand to help wash those down. In the pack on the belt I’ll carry my ID, JIC cash and/or my CC, a mini cliff bar, and my cell phone. My keys are pinned to the inside of my shorts. I also wear a HR monitor, visor, sunglasses and on rare occasions my iPod shuffle.
*sigh* I’ve toyed with tying a wagon to my waist and just pulling it behind me, but I don’t like it when it runs into my legs on the hills and dragging it up the hills would suck.
i am intrigued by this top too but i don’t think i am as deserving! i only take my house key, some gu’s and/or sport beans, and water/propel! i’m not worthy!!
I actually own a sports bra that has a little compartment that I bought years ago-but it doesn’t have a zip nor does it have 3 compartments!! Hmm I’m VERY interested in this sports bra because I carry a blackberry phone which is quite big!! I run with water bottles that have pouches but none of those pouches are big enough for my phone so I always end up stashing it somewhere-usually in my running skirt-but because the phone is so big it makes my skirt fall down on one side!!! I’d love to see if this bra would work with my Blackberry!
For my short runs, I just strap my iPod to my arm and go. For anything eight miles or longer I carry a fuel belt containing water, gatorade, gu and/or sport beans, my cell phone and my car key. I think I might start carrying chapstick, too.
On long runs I usually go with Burger King…. one double whopper, large fries and a strawberry shake…… oh and sometimes my friend Melinda…. JK, I don’t carry Burger King.

Hey Jill,
When I ran the San Antonio RNR Marathon I carried everything but the kitchen sink. My buddy from MI that ran with me was laughing as me as he only has one really small packet. In my Star Wars jersey and pockets I carried my I-pod and headphones, sun glasses, chapstick, body glide, toilet paper, 4 Clif Shot Blocks, cell phone, 2-way radio (walkie talkie – in case the phone didn’t work), 2 energy bars, gum, id, and keys. I also wore a HR monitor, watch, hat, 2 pr of gloves, and a sweatshirt. Also, along the way I picked up 4 extra gel packs.
The jersey worked out great as everything fit in the deep pockets and was below the waistline of my shorts so it didn’t bounce.
May the Force be with you!!!

I have to add something! I am now going to carry pepper spray with me every time I run (except races, of course). I thought I was ok in my neighborhood, but today I ran into a mean dog AND a coyote!!
Sheesh, I’m such a lightweight here. Literally. Just a key, cellphone and some Gus. That’s it. 🙂
I usually just carry my iPod and sometimes my sunglasses, because I make my Boyfriend carry the keys to the car.
Also, I don’t usuall run over 3 miles, so I haven’t ever felt the need to carry more items.
I wear my ithreesixty (wireless headband with pocket for iPod…www.ithreesixty.com), chapstick, sunglasses, and HR monitor.
I love that someone carried TP!!!
Lets see… I carry my h20, ipod, house keys, and sweat towel.
I bring along my friend Jim…will he fit in the top?? I aslo need to have GU, burt’s Bee’s, Sharkies, money, cell phone. i hope this shirt has BIG pockets.
