Ok, so i've run in to a small snag...every morning when i run, i drop my keys out of the pocket of my hoodie. I've been looking for a key holder for my shoes, but can't find shit...anyone know of anything that will work for holding the keys? I tried my ipod case but it doesn't have enough room in the sleeve for more than one key and i have 2 that need to go in it.
Oh, and for the home gym people, where do you buy your weights/weight sets? Tired of the gyms here as they tend to be clogged with people trying to look pretty as opposed to working out and the only Golds here is in the Castro...and well, it's creepy.

Are you wearing pants with a belt loop? You could clip your keys to that.
The other thing would be to put them on a lanyard and wear them around your neck and under your shirt.

I know a lot of women's shorts have key pockets built in - you should be able to find men's shorts that have something like that too...
My mom has a little pouch that is laced onto the top of her shoes that can hold her key (valet key for her car) & a couple of bucks... I think she might have gotten it at an expo for a marathon, but I'm not sure - I'll try to find out where she got it & let you know. (I can't seem to find it on google quickly right now...)
Edit: Hers is like this, only a little smaller: http://www.roadid.com/shoe_pouch_learnmore.asp?back=/id.asp?referrer=2258poundsignpouch

lanyard might work in a pinch. I'll probably pick one up if i can't find the shoe thing.

See my edit - it might be a little big - but it'll get you started.
Also, check out any running store - not sports/athletic store - a RUNNING store that only carries running gear, if they don't have them they should be able to give you some suggestions.

big is perfect. The hills here are murder, so if i end up pulling something, i have enough cash to grab a cab home to take care of whatever i did to myself.

:yes:
Once I started running again, my parents got me one of the RoadIDs for my shoe - just in case anything ever happened, it's got their address & phone number...

i have a spare key for when i go running, and i just tie that into the knot when i tie my shoes, don't have to worry about it, not in the way

What are you, crazy? Hands are not made for carrying, that's just ridiculous.
