Silly little story, will be cross-posted on my blog tomorrow....
*****
Tuesday I ordered a waist pack from Amazon. It's basically a very small pouch that buckles around my waist. I'll use it while I'm running. It arrived yesterday, and it's pretty cool. In this photo it's holding my phone, a couple of keys, a Starbucks card (for my weekend Starbucks runs!), and a package of Clif Shot Bloks, my energy food of choice for longer runs. On the strap is a little tag where I can write all my identifying information in case a mob of angry running shoe salesmen attack me and leave me laying in the street.
I was pretty excited to order it, and I ended up having this conversation on Twitter:
cbethblog: I ordered a little waistpack for running...for my phone, keys, ID, etc. Excited! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PDESD0/ref=oss_product
shankrabbit: "Either" "Eyether" "Waist Pack" "Fanny Pack" - let's call the whole thing off.
cbethblog: NOT a fanny pack! #okayitsaSMALLfannypack
showmyface: It depends on how @cbethblog wears it. Back = fanny pack. Front = waist pack.
cbethblog: I'm actually planning to wear it on my forehead. Sweat band & ID/phone carrier all in one. Plus it'll look AWESOME.
shankrabbit: Pics or it didn't happen.
Well, shankrabbit...you asked for it!
(Despite all the America's Next Top Model I've watched, my "sexy face" is SO un-sexy.)
Pretty awesome, huh? I bet my bare feet will get fewer stares with this bad boy strapped to my forehead! I may set a new trend!
And, uh, if I decide that the "head pack" is a little too heavy, too hot, or too fantastically dorky, well then, I suppose it still works well as a waist pack too. (Imagine I'm in running clothes for this photo.)
I'm all set with my waist/fanny/headpack! Rabid shoe salesmen, catch me if you can!
