Carrying equipment while running (going on a trail tomorrow)

Running Shoes/Running Gear Other

I'm running eight miles by myself on a trail tomorrow. For some of you, that's a warm-up, but since I'm a Poser Runner, this is the longest I've ever run.

I'll be doing it early in the morning in a pretty desolate area, and it's pretty freakin' cold outside. So I figure I should bring my cell phone. And I don't want to be eaten by wildlife either.

Problem is, since I'm a Poser Runner, I don't know what the best way to carry my cell phone is while running. What do you experienced guys use when you need to carry a phone/car keys (I'll have these too)/etc. while running?

Anything I can buy at the nearest Target or Wal-Mart that might help me out? Thanks.

I transport all my running paraphernalia in my red Radio Flyer.

If it's "pretty freakin' cold" outside would you not be wearing a running jacket with pockets? I'm not clear on the Poser Runner definition of "pretty freakin' cold" so perhaps not. What kind of wildlife are we talking about?

Why do people think that starting these types of threads is funny?

Could you not, one, leave your key hidden near your car and, two, carry your cell phone in your hand?

Stick your car key on your shoelace. Pull a lace out of an eyelet, put the key on, then put the lace back through the eyelet. That way if your shoe comes untied, you won't lose your key; I've seen it happen.

If it's that freakin' cold, then if you break an ankle, you stand a good chance of freezing to death before any rescuers can get to you. It would be selfish of you to call them out for your self-indulgence anyway, so leave the cell phone in the car, along with a note describing your route so people will know why the car is there.

Happy trails!
