I need a way to carry my phone, which measures my distance for me and is also my timer. I looked at some arm bands on amazon, but in the end I just made one myself. It is cut from a pair of old child's tights, just a tube folded back on itself to make a pocket. I added a button for extra security.
I also needed something to cover my sensitive ears. Cold air or wind makes my ears ache. I have a fleece headband that I wear in winter, but it is far too heavy for this time of year. I cut another tube from the other leg of the tights and sewed it together to make a headband. Now I have matching accessories to run in.
Here's my daughter modeling my new gear.
what a good idea! We have a lot of wind today. The headband would have made a good addition!

Excellent repurposing! I never would have thought to use tights, but they're the perfect material for a little extra warmth with being too much.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the 5K!

Brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I actually have the same problem with my ears and no one understands, so it's good to know there's someone else out there with the same problem!
