Are you supposed to wear a fanny pack in the front or back when running?
back
No seriously now... do any of you pufters shave their legs or their chests?
I'm wearing a fanny pack right now.

Yup, I shave my legs, and I run in really expensive spikes. That's why I'm so fast.

hehehe. Man you crack me up... you're so funny!
I never thought this thread would get close to 100 posts long.
I have given it some thought as well and say, if you want to wear a fanny pack, go for it. Who am I or anyone else to say different. I don't, but that is me. I suspect the more you run, the better you get, the less you will feel a need to wear one.
If this thread gets any longer, we won't be able to cram it into our fanny pack!! Quick, stop posting!!
Can you hook us up with a web cam feed?

A nylon climbing rope tied to several runners is an excellent way to save yourself should you fall into a crevasse or sewer hole. Use the ice axes to climb back out. Also, bring along your Boy Scout Manual, it has several handy tips about the use of triangle bandages should you need one for a sprained ankle or other life-threatening injury.
Your ass (arse) looks big because you're fat! In the states they're still purses or handbags. And the pufters are usually referred to by your term for cigarettes. By the way, do you wear nylon tricot shorts to display your equipment when you get sweaty? Also, do you prefer short shorts or longer? Split or notch sides? What color(s)? I like pastels.
Make sure you shave all your hair both on your head and in your pubic area. This will save the precious added weight of the fanny pack.
I'm running a relay tomorrow (five people on my team, we each run 1k) and I'm going out right now and get us matching fanny packs. I had no idea we would need all that stuff. Thanks, everyone.
(PS: Do you really need flares for a daytime race?)

If you're in super shape, by that I mean you can run for at least two miles without stopping, you won't need the flares. However, if you haven't properly trained for the event, bring the flares. You never know when you'll have to alert your fellow competitors to the obstacle in the road that is your crumpled body.
100!

I am thinkin about doin a 5k soon. Is is ok to wear a fanny pack to carry my stuff in?
I think I will need it to carry my: gue, napkins, hard candy, id, change for an emergency, cell phone, a shirt to change into after the race and car keys.
For one you do not need this stuff for a 5k. Pin your car key in your shorts and just run. Leave all that stuff in your car...
Oh you must be another one of those super-elite types..
Ok…I admit that when I started running last October, I was 340 pounds and may have thought that I would need a camel pack or something. That being said I am now running 5 miles a day regularly, have lost over 120 of those pounds, and have no inkling of needing any sort of help. Just due the 5k without any of the other stuff. There is enough fluids and food waiting for you at the end. The only resone to have you cell phone on you is if you are running down some country road, and even then I most likely will not work!
After all, we all make fun of those people who either have on fanny packs, headphones, or other unnecessary crap!
However, it sounds like you are just stating, so congratulations, and keep it up! It has worked for me…size 48 to a size 35 in less then a year!

You are very perceptive XCGirl.
