Grab a hair band, the thin ones, I am sure there is one around somewhere. If not, ask any girl you know, or email me and I will mail you a few, just because; this is important.
Put it in the key chain, it won’t bother you ever, I promise you:
Then, when you go for a run, you tie it around the keys, and VOILA, you’re nice and silenced. Throw in pocket. Done.
Please do it. For everyone’s sake. We will like you now 😉

I made the mistake once of just putting the keys in my hydration pack on a long trail run. I was driving myself crazy! Never again!

I know. Probably driving everybody else crazy too!

That’s a better option than what I do — wrapping them in a sandwich bag!

I always wrap a cute hair tie through the hole in my keys and just leave the hair tie attached to my key when it’s on the key chain. Then when I need it for a run, I take it off the key chain and wear the hair tie as a bracelet. If the key bounces around too much, I’ll just wrap it in the hair tie, so it lays flat across my wrist! Works really well for me, and it’s a pretty similar concept!

yes! and I think that works for 1 key,,, I have 3 so it’d be too much to put them there I think…?

Yeah, I think that might get a little overdone. I’ve done two keys before, but I put them on separate hair ties and on separate wrists. When you get to three, you’re out of wrists! Haha. Definitely a better solution for less keys.

Is It acceptable to let them jingle during the Christmas season and sing jingle bells to the jingling of the keys? Just asking 🙂

yes, but only if your cadence matches the rythym of the song!

My key has a tiny carbiner on it. I clip the carbiner to my sports bra strap and put the key inside. Silence! Yes! The hair tie is a GREAT idea for more than one key for sure! Thanks!!!

I need two keys minimum to get back in, otherwise, I’d do that, or just put them in the shoe laces like people do.

I had never thought of this….simple things! Will have to try this on my run tomorrow, and enjoy some jingle free miles!

Hehe all I can do to help fellow runners!
The only thing is I do like the fact that people can hear me approaching as I run on a very busy seafront – people hear the jingling and dodge out of the way!

I like to cough, or sing out loud. But, if you need to make noise, and it doesn’t bother you, then keep at it, I once wanted to run with those little jingle Christmas things (jingle bells?!?!) and threw them out after a block, it drove me bonkers!

[…] Happy PLAYING! And please, PLEASE, if you run with keys put them in there (see above) or, if not, MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOT MAKING A TON OF NOISE IN THE RUN, THIS IS HOW. […]
