How many times have you driven to your favorite running path, gotten out of the car and then immediately realized that you don’t have any place to put your car key, chap stick, tissues or ID? What about that arm band that you carry your mp3 player in but it painfully rubs against you leaving unsightly red marks? No? That must just be me.
Really though, one of the biggest pains (other than carrying water) for me when I want to run away from home (that sounds funny doesn’t it?) is all the stuff I need when I am running. All the Glide in the world can’t make the arm bands comfortable during a 6 mile run. This is why I have found such a love for the SPI Belts that were so generously donated to all the Ruby Red Runners for the relay.
At first look, the SPI Belts do not really seem large enough to hold all the items mentioned above but it is a bit like magic and as you put each of the items in the belt, it stretches more and more. Plus each belt has a very comfortable and adjustable waist band with a sturdy clip. The belt stays neatly in place.
SPI Belts sent me six of their reflective belts for the relay race. At first the girls were a little skeptical about their use but by the end of the race, they all were talking about how much they liked them. I have been using mine for my everyday runs to hold my Ipod. I just run my headphones up through the zipper and it works great. Not to mention that my Runkeeper app works great in the pouch.
SPI Belts come in a ton of fun colors and they recently introduced a SPI Band that can be worn on the wrist or ankle. They also have accessories like bib toggles and lanyards. Check out their website today. Oh and another cool thing…SPI Belts were made by a women and produced right here in the USA!
