Don't Forget Your Ziploc Baggy


Tip from the DC Road Runners!

Ziploc Baggies

Ziploc baggies???  As a training tip???  In fact Ziploc baggies are your friend on training runs. You can carry an extra pair of gloves and hat in a Ziploc baggy during the run – keeping them dry should you need a bit more warmth. Just squish the air out of the Ziploc for a nice, flat bundle and shove it in a pocket. And if you carry a cell phone during a run in the rain, placing the cell phone in a Ziploc baggy helps prevent the phone from getting all wet and potentially not working. (BTW – a corollary to this tip is to place a wet phone in a Ziploc baggy full of uncooked brown rice to help dry it out.  The rice will absorb the moisture.)
