I am not the type of person who can just get up, tie on some running shoes, and go. It takes a little bit more planning for me, and no, I am not the type of person who sleeps in her running clothes in order to get out the door earlier in the morning.
Seriously, do you do that? WHO DOES THAT???
I digress.

I need to plan for any possible circumstance in my running: weather, bathroom needs, sinus drainage, fuel (after 10 miles), and hydration (after 5 miles). Usually I lay my gear out the night before, and then I agonize over my choice when I check the weather channel yet again. Have I told you I’m a wee bit neurotic?
Anyway. What doesn’t change in my runs is the need to carry stuff with me. On any given run, long or short, speed workout or slow and easy, I carry the following items: car key fob, phone, lip balm, whistle, and Kleenex. Lots and LOTS of Kleenex. On long run days I also carry fuel and sometimes my ID and some money or a credit card. Lots of stuff, right? So, how do I carry it?
