hillstrider May 2018 5:28pm, 12 May 2018 4,992 posts	0 hillstrider Changing the subject slightly, I was wearing shorts the other day, with my front door key in the left hand pocket. I drove into the village, and when I returned to the car, checked my pocket to ensure that my key was still there, but it wasn't. I started to panic, trying to think where I had been. I then had a thought that it might have fallen between the front seats. Thankfully it had, and I very carefully managed to retrieve it.

WtnMel May 2018 11:48am, 14 May 2018 1,019 posts	0 WtnMel Hillstrider - I employ a 'belt & braces' approach these days to keeping my car/door keys safe. Although they should be safe in the zipped pocket, I also use a shoelace from an old pair of running shoes which is looped around the keyring and the drawstring of my shorts.
Columba May 2018 12:58pm, 14 May 2018 15,559 posts	0 Columba There was an occasion I went for a run with my key safely zipped into a pocket at the back of my trousers; and at the end of the run, couldn't get the pocket unzipped, zip was totally stuck. Fortunately I was in town rather than at home. Went to seek help from a hairdresser (bound to have scissors and could cut the pocket open). She actually managed to unstick the zip so didn't need the scissors. (Zip is now stuck permanently open).
hillstrider May 2018 2:25pm, 14 May 2018 4,996 posts	0 hillstrider Columba, I had an old pair of running shorts with a zip pocket at the back. I hadn't worn them for a while, and when I put them on, discovered that the zip was well and truly stuck shut. Luckily, there was nothing in the pocket, so no harm was done.
jb62 May 2018 2:48pm, 14 May 2018 8 posts	0 jb62 Hi - I recognise some names here from the runners world forum which I've deserted (for no good reason other than I 'lapsed'). However on 2nd thoughts I was also injured (not unrelated to running a marathon around velodrome late last year) and got out of the habit. Anyway to HS, Columba and WtnMel I do hope you are in good health, form and spirits. Or at least perm 2 from these 3! I'm back running again, mostly parkruns and still chasing the 80% AG. 2018 is proving to be harder than 2017 in this respect. On HS's wardrobe malfunction I recall I ran my best ever 10k holding up my shorts following the elastic snapping just before the race.
