My Basket of Tricks

Ok, I'll admit it, I'm a little light on material right now. So what do I do when I don't have time to compose a proper blog post? I make a list. I have this "running supplies basket". I keep it on top of the fridge for easy access to all of my little gadgets and whatnots for running. I tend to misplace things so this system helps me a lot. Maybe if you're new to running this will help you figure out some of the stuff you might need. My basket contains: 1. Fuel Belt (4 bottle) + little bottles 2. Fuel Belt (1 bottle) - missing bottle 3. Nike running hat - white 4. Tensor bandages (4) 5. Fruit punch Gatorade Powder 6. Lululemon Running Gloves 7. Ryders Eyewear white running shades 8. Small container Vaseline 9. Garmin heart rate monitor 10. Strawberry Clif Shot Bloks Electrolyte Chews (2 packages) 11. Reflective armband with flashing lights 12. Headlamp 13. Small Ziplock bag of safety pins 14. Hair elastic 15. Mostly eaten travel-sized package of Tums 16. Keychain safety Whistle 17. iPod cord 18. Garmin Forerunner 405 owner's manual 19. PowerBar Sport energy bar - Cookies 'n' Cream (expired) 20. Salbutamol inhaler 21. Small flashing light (no battery) 22. Small case for digital voice recorder (which is missing by the way) and cord That's it. I'd be curious to know if anyone thinks I should add (or delete) anything...
