THANKS!!!! This is a much cheaper option to accomplish the same thing. Now I just need to figure out where to get it cut if I don't have a friend who's a locksmith like the OP of that thread.
Sometimes I do too. I prefer to not run the same trail every time so you gotta go somewhere other than your back yard. Lots of trails around her to choose from, but you have to drive to whichever trail head you want to run on.Ok I'm going to state the obvious... you drive some place to go run?
Anyway, don't you have a pocket inside your spandex?
As for the pocket. Nope, I don't have them. I usually wear ranger panties and a tee shirt. Even if I had pockets I'm not sure I'd use it. It'd probably be fine for a 5 miler or something like that. But for longer runs (marathons or even a half) the key would likely chafe after a while.
It's not a matter of CAN we do it. The key is small, we're all capable of running with it. I've embraced the suck, but running isn't training. Well I guess it is, but in this case it's a leisure activity. We're talking about recreational and sport running. Nobody interested in storing their fob while they run is trying to prove they're tough. They're trying to find a way to make their recreational sport more enjoyable. Sure I've run in combat boots, but that doesn't mean I'm going to strap them on for a 5K on the weekend. I'll wear some nice light weight Asics, and find a scenic trail to actually enjoy my sport. If we were talking about training then yes I'd agree with you and Xjrider, but we're not. It's a sport, it should be enjoyable. Shedding an item that you have to carry is a good way to make it more enjoyable.Run and ruck. Done that a lot. Embrace the suck—whatever that JL fob weighs.
I don't like to run with stuff either. I never even used to carry my phone on runs. I'd just hit the trail and go. Until a few years ago I broke my ankle a mile from finishing my run and I had no way to get help. I had to limp/hop back to the house. I learned a lesson that night. Technology is good. So after that, I bought an arm band to carry my phone in while I run. It works out though, because I can use the phone's gps to track my runs instead of relying on my watch.Personally, I don’t like to run with anything. Used to run with my F-150 key in the shorts pocket (either back of waistband or front appendix) until the sweat caused a problem. The moisture was getting into my key and the contacts must have been affected. Rock on if the JL key is waterproof, but I’ll find a different solution.
Anyway, I'm thinking that if I can get a key blade made, I should be able to slide that into my arm band with my phone, instead of having to hold a stupid fob. One less thing to carry.
