Now that the warm weather is back, my jogging has (like it does every year at this time) moved from the treadmill back to the great outdoors. Now that my jogging has left the relative security of my home with my EDC gear sitting comfortably on the table right next to the treadmill, this brings up the questions of what to carry and how to carry it. Like most runners (I presume) I like to be as light weight and comfortable as possible.

I actually do two types of running. Trail running and the typical urban pavement running that most people associate with adaily jogging for exercise. I'm not talking about trail running. For that I carry water and my normal PSK plus an RSK and (if I know orienteering will be involved) a high quality compass, in addition to the SAS button compass in my PSK. What I am referring to is the typical everyday 3-6 mile jog I do through the paved roads, sidewalks and wooded parks of the "lush" urban jungle in which I live.

I have to carry the key to my apt... that's a given. So far I've kept my spare key on a neck lanyard that I toss around my neck as I'm leaving house for a run. I have considered adding a small photon light and some type of sturdy, ultralight knife with a lanyard hole also.

I'm just looking for ideas and wondering what other people do. With all the talk about how fitness plays such an important role in survival, I know I must not be the only runner here....right? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> So, fellow runner's and joggers... what (if anything) do you carry?
