Concealed carry while running? Suggestions?

I have ran once with my Hi Power in the pocket of my CamelBak. Not fast but it is still there and it is a full size with a lot of capacity. Works great on a bicycle too.
I'm an avid rural walker. I walk daily at a brisk pace with a Hi Power on my hip. The few times I've jogged for short distances while carrying this way have not been uncomfortable, but don't honestly know how well it would work for extended jogging. A smaller gun would not be a problem.
 
As mose running clothing does not include a suitable belt, I'd go with the fanny pack. I hate ankle holsters but they were the only choice as a backup on duty. Running with them bothered me a lot.
 
For a small pistol such as the LCP,P3AT,etc. Bulldog makes a very small clip on your belt/waistband cell phone style holster that works really,really well.
In fact when you buy the Taurus TCP 738 .380 it comes with this nifty holster as part of the package.
Fits my Diamondback 380 perfectly.
I have been walking around all sorts of people lately including LEO's that were none the wiser to what it contained inside it.
I showed it to our Security guard the other day and he ordered one from Cabela's that day for his LCP.
 
In the past, I have simply put a belt around my waist and tucked the gun in - S&W 637. You don't actually need belt loops in order to wear a belt. It worked reasonably well and I didn't find it to be uncomfortable.
 
I would avoid an ankle holster at all costs. Before an unfortunate knee injury I was an avid distance runner and cyclist. (about 10K a day running, or 40-50 miles on the bike if that what was up for the day/ 7 days a week).

Any weight on just one leg will cause you to have an uneven stride, and pretty quickly lead to an injury. If you would like to carry ( i got into shooting and ccw post injury so I have little first hand experience ccw while running) I would think that the fanny-pack/camelbak designed for ccw would be the way to go.
