Road ID Review

Spring is coming! The past weekend was gorgeous and the weather has stayed mild through the week. I've been running outside in shorts the past few days and it feels absolutely wonderful! It's still a bit on the cool side for shorts but you know once you try it's hard to go back. Spring is perfect for running!

In addition to shorts I've got another new running accessory. A Road ID! As you might remember I won a free Road ID on Steve in a Speedo's blog last month. I quickly ordered my Wrist ID Elite and it arrived after just a few days.

I included my name, year of birth, location, home phone number, Sam's cell phone number, penicillin allergy, blood type (A+) and organ donor.

I really love having the Road ID. Originally I was looking at the Shoe ID, a version that attaches to your shoe instead of on your wrist, because I was worried that I would be bothered by having something on my wrist. But, ultimately I went with the Wrist ID because I wanted to be able to wear it when I'm running and when I'm biking. I've just had too many close calls on the bike when cars would fly by and leave little room or roll through stop signs without looking.

The wrist band is very comfortable and can be adjusted to fit each user perfectly. I took the opportunity to order one for Sam too - instead of one free it was like two half-priced. I went with yellow and he choose red. (Whenever I see red and yellow together I think of ketchup and mustard... Is that strange?)

I hope you've all had a chance to enjoy the spring weather! If you don't have a Road ID yet I would highly recommend one. It was easy to order and quite affordable given the peace of mind it provides. If you act fast you can use this coupon code from Steve in a Speedo - good until March 17th!
