    A toupee is a regular sized hairpiece, a tuque is a monstrous sized one.

                  Damaris don't you have a couple sparkleskirts? Can't even feel my phone in the leg pockets.... only way I can carry my phone comfortably. I just bought a flip belt at a race expo and that seems like it'll work well too but haven't really tried it yet on a long run. They may be at the NYCM expo

                    I usually don't run with a Sparkle Skirt and for this one it will be too light (if I run in a skirt, I would choose another one with similar pockets that is black).  The iPhone 6 won't fit the Flip Belt.  I have a Roo Sport pocket with an ion to stick to anything so I guess I'll use that.  I tried it today and I didn't even feel this block of cement at all.

                     

                    Here it is.  The phone actually fits great in it with the case and I just need to stick this somewhere:

                     

                     

                    But I'll be running in the Minnie Sparkle Skirt for the Wine & Dine HM next week so thanks for the idea.  I think it will fit there well!  (Although I need to try it with the iPhone 6 is bigger than the prior versions).

                      A tuque is the correct way to say a toque. You people make me angry.

                          It has a magnet, so anywhere.  You just fold it anywhere on the pants/skirts.  My case is pretty big and it does fit in there.  But if I didn't have the phone, it can fit 3-4 gels, the iPhone, keys, and stuff.

                                The only time I carried my phone was in my first, and it was in an armstrap. Which seems like a pretty straightforward way to do it.

                                I used a Spibelt in Detroit for the first time. Worked great, never noticed it there. Had everything BUT my phone in there - 4 gels, inhaler and my friggin' passport. Could have also fit my phone in there, and probably my iPad and a 6-pack of beer. That thing stretches like crazy, it's like a Mary Poppins or Hermione bag.
