I can understand your frustration with the bulky key fob. One option could be to use a small pouch or a running belt to keep the fob close to you while you run. There are many types of running belts and pouches available on the market that are specifically designed to carry small items while running, such as keys, phones, and water bottles. You could wear the belt or pouch around your waist or attach it to your arm or leg, depending on your preference.
Another option could be to use a lanyard or wrist strap to carry the key fob while you run. This would allow you to keep the fob close to you without having to worry about it bouncing or flopping around. You could wear the lanyard or wrist strap around your neck or wrist, respectively, and tuck it under your shirt to keep it secure.
Finally, you could also consider getting a spare key fob from locksmith North Kensington and leaving it in a secure location near your running route. This would allow you to lock the car with the spare fob and keep the original fob with you while you run. However, this option would require some planning and preparation, and it may not be practical in all situations.
Ideas:
-Chest pocket
-Pocket sewn in your hat
-Wrist strap
-Sleeve pocket
-Make a new key without the electronics
-Put on GI necklace and tuck in your shirt
- sock solution
-Ride a bike!
Maybe it's b/c I grew up in NY but I'd never leave a key outside my vehicle anywhere much less just to save 2oz.

Nyker, stop please. Look back at rperth on page 2.
I hear you but if you're going to attack people for asking simple questions, questions to you that might have an obvious answer, then most posts here would not get a response. Obvious troll posts don't warrant a response but if you have a good suggestion to an innocent honest question like the OP asked, just opine here. That's what a forum is for.

Its just that it's all been covered, and it started a year and a half ago. Sorry to be harsh.
“Is there a thing of which it is said, ‘See, this is new’? It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.” - Ecclesiastes 1:10-11

I use this forum to read s**t like this honestly. 5 pages is a given!
But the silver lining is that you *might* be able to tell your great- or grandchildren that you were alive back in the days when computers needed input from actual people to function.
