So my "real job" starts tomorrow which will require a bit of traveling. I'm trying to create a "complete list" of "anything and everything I'd need" to run while traveling. My plan was to put EVERYTHING on the list so that I'd have a default list, and put all these things in a bag and then right before a trip I can figure out if some of them are unneccessary for that particular trip (like earmuffs) and take those out of the bag and put them in the "holding box" in the closet. So, no I don't plan on taking EVERYTHING on this list with me on every trip.

But, does it look like I"m missing anything? Anything you ALWAYS have in your running bag??

  1. Nice list! I might have to add some of your items to my bag! I always have a couple of Gu, and also safety pins for race numbers. I also have a couple of drawstring bags / plastic bags for wet clothes. Oh, also, sunscreen!

  2. Body glide! And salt tablets if you usually take them on extra hot and sweaty longer runs.

  3. RoadID/Identification... especially if you're traveling somewhere. NO ONE will know who you are. Headbands/barrettes??

    Congrats on your job! If you travel up to the Boston/Providence area, let me know and we can go for a run!
