Thanks for the "bump." This is the funniest thread I've run into on this board -- I'm sitting here with tears running down my face, I'm laughing so hard.
Packin' Heat, if you're still on this board, you're the greatest! I love your deft moniker, your prose style, your light touch with satire. Long may you post!
(One question, though, on your original post . . . what the heck were the napkins for??)
Hey thanks for all the help everyone. The running community here was so kind I just had to report on my 5k experience. It's taken me a year because I just got out of the hospital.
The napkins were in case my sensitive little nipples bled, so I could dab the blood away and not stain my designer polo. But I didn't get that far.
Before that could happen I encountered… err … issues with my fanny pack. I didn't buy the fancy pack with steel cables in the belt. Very bad move, the belt stretched and about the 1k mark rotated around to the front and started slapping my nads around like some of the posters on this thread.
I briefly thought about stopping but then I came to my senses realizing that none of you elite runners would let this stop you!
So I soldiered on bravely. Well I had to much stuff in my pack and it packed my nads right up my arse. Talk about packin heat! At this point (2k) I became somewhat weak and the paramedics took me off the course. I couldn't understand this as I still figured I could do this. I thought - if I could just get into my pack and get to some GU I will be fine - but the pack was still bouncing wildly out of control.
Turns out the paramedics saw my face turning blue and figured I couldn't breath, so they took me to the hospital. At the hospital my package was extracted from my bum and I began feel (or is it fell?) better, but they wouldn't let me go until I had a thorough psychiatric exam.
This is where it got ugly.I pointed the shrink to this letsrun thread and…
…well it's been a year or so right?
Anyway thanks again,
Packin
the above is obviously not the real Packin Heat. PH we loved you.

Agreed. Next time someone wants to pretend to be the real Packin Heat, they should make sure that they're funny first.

I recently ran the Manchester Road race, at mile three a guy appeared in front of me wearing a back pack one of those smaller ones that fit in the upper back.
Fans on the road side were yelling "he's got a bomb!"being that the guy was obviously of Arab descent it wasn't so funny, although it was.
I tried to catch him but he kept speeding up,I ran the final .78 in 4:17 but he still finished a second ahead of me. My plan was that if I saw him reach for the pack i was going to take him down! Well thankfuly it all turned out good.
In conclusion leave all back, fanny, or any othe kind of pack in the car, home, or park the only pack you need on race day is Gue or some other pack.
Any other pack is a hazard!

Does anyone know where I can get a good fanny pack to run in? A light running one? Does Webb use one?
I think this one might be my favorite.
Bumping a classic.

I like the leather ones because after the race the fanny pack works great at a classy restaurant like Chilli's.
I thought this was golden.
Thanks for the memories. I loved this thread. Can anyone find some of the Evel Knievel stuff?

You were right.

So my wife's little sister went on her first 5 mile run...with a fanny pack to carry a phone, gel, and napkins! I couldn't help but discuss this thread with my wife. Could be one of the best threads ever.
Gotta keep a classic alive. I laughed about this one all last week when I saw it resurrected. Hopefully someone else who hasn't seen it yet will appreciate it.
if you are a slow, non competitive jogger, what's the difference. I used to lock everything in my trunk except my car key which I would tie into my shoelace and double knot it. I ran in the 30-31 range for 10ks, too, so I wasn't jogging. (another option is that little pocket inside alot of racing shorts where u can put a single key, too.

That sounds good, but you're super-elite if you're running 30-31 minutes in a row without stopping. I tried putting some flares in that little pocket inside of some shorts, but it just looked like I had a tremendous boner.
Fanny pack material has evolved quite a bit since this thread began. Last week I picked up the new ultra lightweight aerodynamic pack created by those same dudes who make bicyclists aerodynamic for time trials.
I credit my recent 5k PR of 23:56 to this. My previous best was 24:14. I was cruisin along at an 8 minute clip when the air pocket on my brand new pair of $230 Nikes popped. Any other runner would be doomed to not finish because running on a popped air cushion for such a long distance would surely have resulted in injury. But my fanny pack saved the day! I had an extra pair of shoes tucked neatly inside my aerodynamic super duper fanny pack, so I made a NASCAR-esque quick tire change, downed three packets of GU, and was on my way!
