Feeling Crafty: A Running Toolbox

Back for a second project designed to get the Dallas Galloway running group a little more organized.

Last season, our medical supplies were tossed into a box.And our medical supplies were pretty basic: Advil, band aids and a bottle of insect repellent. Hardly as thorough as we would have liked.

So after the season ended, I picked up an inexpensive storage box (just $4). I went with red because that’s a universal first aid color.

Then I filled it with all types of things that come in handy during the running year, from avoiding chafing to fixing ripped clothing, and from cuts and scrapes to depleted electrolyte levels.

Contents:
  • KT Tape
  • Bandaids
  • Non-stick gauze pads
  • Non-stick medical tape
  • Advil
  • Electrolyte pills
  • Personal-sized anti-chafing lotion (for the days that runners forget!)
  • Vasoline
  • Insect repellent
  • Safety pins

Now we’ve got everything we need in one handy small container. More importantly, our runners know exactly where to look if they are in need of emergency supplies.
