I'm feeling pretty happy with my run today. I got up a little too late to run at the bay, as it gets very busy with tourists, people having parties, and people enjoying the sunny weekend at the bay, so I went to the lake in the old neighborhood, which was rather quiet. I was feeling like some asthma (ass-ma , bleh!) was going to come on, which is so frustrating, especially when my legs feel good. I controlled my breathing and tried to keep an even pace when I could. My average run time at the lake is usually in the 1:06 range, so to see it under that was a nice surprise. I'd actually like to see it under an hour on a consistent basis, and I suppose that's something to work up to.
After my run, I made my way to the mall to look for an arm band for my cell phone. Much to my surprise, I had a hard time finding one. They had a zillion armbands for the Ipod Nano. I did find something close at one of the Kiosks that sells cell phone accessories, but it was on the cheesy side and almost $50...
I wandered into Sports Chalet and they had a generic neoprene arm band for mp3 players that happened to fit my phone for $6.99. 
When I run in my neighborhood, I really don't need a hydration pack/belt or much gear because it's usually between a 2 and 3 mile run, but I need to carry my cell phone. The cheapie mini-fanny pack I have kinda moves around too much because there's very little to weigh it down. Now, I can try out the mp3 player feature on my cell phone while using the GPS wireless run tracker.
Peace

Your training runs continue to amaze me! And the hill work from your previous post...WOWZA!!!
That's great about the armband. I have one for my phone that I got at Target for $5.
Now, that is a useful thing. You know me, I'm imagining using it while shopping! ;) My new cell has an mp3 player too but I haven't figured out how to use it!
Tom Jones?
Look at you & all your fancy gadgets ~! Niccee!
It pays to shop around. I carry my cell phone on runs, too. I usually have my water belt and bought a pouch that fits onto the belt. I save the arm for the iPod. :-)
Chantal,
Target was the first place I looked, but they didn't have anything. :( They were sold out of what ever they happened to carry. Hills... I guess there's always something to improve upon.
Shopper,
Or do you prefer Shoparound? Shppr? Any way, Winner!
Pamela,
Troy on the Blends forum said something about looking like a Power Ranger. Teehee. I've received a lot of my gadgets from my family for birthdays and Christmas. Just call me "gadget girl." LOL.
Dori,
I'll mostly use the armband for working out and shorter runs where I don't need to have so much stuff. $6.99 was a deal.
