The 10 Run Commute Commandments

I will attempt to do this in the style of the Notorious B.I.G. "10 Crack Commandments"

First off, lazy will make you crazy, so no slackin,
On the night before's the time to do ya bag packin.

Next verse will protect you from the hearse or lots of scars,
Bling out reflective, be seen, and look both ways for cars.

So there is no fussin and no rushin, in case you run slow,
It's better to leave early than be late you know.

Your bag size tells no lies and it can't grow,
So a little bigger than you need is the way to go.

The rain is a pain so make sure you never forget,
A dry bag in the pack so your clothes ain't wet.

Players always rock layers and so should you,
Cold can get hot real quick in the morning dew.

It's not needy or greedy to over pack,
Leave extra stuff at work in case you get slack.

Check the plan that you ran, and watch your route,
Sometimes the shortest path is not the easiest way out.

There is power in a shower, and in the sink
Spray down, wipe off and then you won't stink.

Last word for the herd as you join the tribe,
Have fun! Be relaxed! And enjoy the vibe....

Run Commuter Bag: Grip EQ Agile A14

So as all my readers and friends know I play disc golf and I had tried to get a Grip Tour series bag to try as a run commuter bag.  This didn't happen...oh well, like 2Pac said "I ain't mad at ya" so I'll give them a little love for their newest bag that could be an even better run commuter bag for shorter daily commute runs.  The new Grip Agile A14.

Smaller

Still holds two bottles.

Still has a rainfly.

Still has the nice padded back

Looks pretty cool as a run commuter pack, if I'm getting one as a disc golf bag I'm getting the full size big boy!

So just a quick follow up to the original post, gotta run!

Run Commuter Bag: Grip EQ

Another hobby of mine is Disc Golf.  I play about once a week.  I'm ok.  I birdie

, I bogey, I par.  I won't tell you which one I do most often.  But as I mentioned in an earlier post I am run commuting to work and have been looking for the perfect bag.  

In discgolf most people carry a bag to hold their various discs.

Smaller ones look like this...

Slightly larger ones look like this...

These would obviously suck as running bags! But so that you are now luggin abunch of weight on a strap on one shoulder, companies started making back pack style bags.  One of the premier bags is the Grip EQ bag

Now as you can see it is a large bag with lots of storage.  Dual water bottle holders, I don't know of you can access them on the run. 

Here is some stuff for Grip's site showing off the theoretical storage of the bag...

They even imply that you could run in it...

The question is can you? Well that remains to be seen. I'm not in a money position to drop $250 dollars on a bag that might work...I got burned by the Salomon Commuter RX so I'm buy shy about spending right now.  I have been corresponding with Grip about getting a bag to review and I hope that they can make it happen. Until then I think it could be a great bag.  Lots of storage, lots of padding, large structured area for disc storage could  easily be used for shoes and clothes.  

So until I can get one to try, this is all theoretical.  

Update... I have been in contact with a rep about trying to get a bag to test out.   

Gotta go throw!  Then run...
