Wife got me the RoadID wrist strap for Valentine's Day. (1st time she bought me jewelry since high school). Never run without it. Even wear it sometimes when not running.

I typed the info into word processor, printed out in about 8 point font, laminated in plastic (at office), punched holes in each end. Made 3. total cost $0.00. Have been using for months including running in the rain with no problem. Can also find clear adhesive lamination sheets if you don't have a machine. Easy to customize what is on them.

I have used the RoadID wrist "thing" for years now. I'm on my 2nd one (phone numbers changed), and I like it pretty well. I rarely take it off, and most of the digital photos my family has include it on my wrist during the photos. In fact, I recommend taking the thing off if you are going to be in a photo because the reflective bands illuminate when the camera flash lights !

I use the one that attaches to my shoe... which is fine unless my shoes go flying if/when I get nailed (and shoes-a-flyin isn't super uncommon).

I like the shoe attachment as well. They work great and I find them less annoying than something on my wrist.

If I lose my shoes in an accident, I figure that my ID is the least of my worries.

I got a slide on dog tag from an online dog tag company. It cost about $6 and slides on just like the road id.

I also just saw vita id. They are also wrist ones and you write down the info rather then get it printed.

Goals:
Finish C25K

I'm slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter, but I run.

i was in the emergency room once when a jane doe came in who had been hit in an intersection while running. i've worn one ever since. i just figure it's like the one time you drive without license and get pulled over syndrome. as long as you run with an id, you'll never get squashed. just a theory.

I was too cheap to even get the laminating sheets so I used clear packing tape. Has survived rain and sweat so far...and even when it dies, it is basically $0 to redo.
