Do you wear rings when you run?

[emilyinchile]

I usually run in them, but I also don't run as far as many of you...10k is the farthest I've run since I've had rings to worry about. I don't wear them to Crossfit or soccer though for scratching (of the rings or other people) reasons.

Usually no.

If I run over lunch then I do. I

I usually wear my work ring which is tungsten. I am naked without it.

I only take off my rings for open water swims. They are pretty tight and never slip off

[starburst604]

I take them off when I shower or sleep but not for any kind of workout. Could be because they're new to me. Maybe when the novelty wears off I won't put them on to go to a 530am workout.

I am not sure that I CAN take them off every day. They fit well enough that they don't slide around when I am cold or feel constricting when I am hot. My knuckle is big enough that I have to try pretty hard to get my rings off, like some days I just can't do it no matter how badly I want to. All that to say: Nope, never take them off.

Not usually for all the reasons PPs mentioned. I will wear my wedding band during races.
I was wearing my engagement ring and wedding band last August when I decided I wanted to practice sliding head first into home plate... on a sidewalk. I bit it, hard. I have elbow scars, knee scars, and a knicked prong on my ring to remember it by. It wasn't a shining moment. I still haven't gotten my ring fixed.

I do not wear rings when I work out for two reasons. 1. My fingers swell and it's uncomfortable. 2. I don't want them to get beat up on the barbell or pull-up bar.

I do. My hands swell like crazy and it is super painful to have any rings on digging in to my little sausage fingers.

[runblondie26]

Yes, they never come off unless I'm kneading bread dough or something like that.

[hurricanedrunk]

I don't take them off when running. I feel naked without my rings on and after one scare of misplacing my engagement ring they rarely come off.

[brittmk0922]

I never remember to take my rings off for any workout

I hardly ever take my rings off. They don't bother me at all though. I'm sure if they did, I would take them off.

I only wear rings during yoga, not any other workouts. My fingers puff up no matter what I am doing if it is strenuous.

This is exactly me also!

[brooke77]

I don't wear my rings running.

[MrsE]

I wear mine.

[runaways]

I'm doing pretty well if I'm wearing them every time I leave the house. I take them off as soon as I get home. Rings kind of bother me in general, I often take them off while driving or typing as well. I definitely don't run or work out in them.

Ditto

[osulori]

Right now, yes I take mine off. 1. They swell easily and 2. I'm still carrying 10-15 lbs of baby weight on top of the 10 or so I gained after I had my rings resized so while I can wear them during the day I take them off at night.

[Deleted]

I always take them off when I work out.

[biomaj5]

I don't wear mine during workouts, but my wedding ring is currently too big, so I hardly wear it at all. I really need to get it resized.

[boston340]

Nope - I put them in a little pouch in my gym bag. I often forget to wear my rings each day though, I really need to work on that.

My hands swell something terrible anytime I work out or even just get warm, there's NO WAY I could work out with rings.  I do usually leave my earrings in when I workout though (if they are studs).

[Deleted]

I never take my rings off, I'm paranoid I will lose them.

Strangely enough, I always took my rings off to run during my first marriage, but those were a bit looser.

[emuni04]

I never take mine off (except in the final months of pregnancy). I sometimes removed them in CF, though - but not for running.

[katinthehat]

I never wear my rings. Since my weight loss they're really big so I only put them on for special occasions.

My RoadID has "Josh - husband - #####" so I joke that's my new wedding band. I almost never take that off.

[Deleted]

I take mine off for the exact same reasons (mainly because my fingers swell, but also worried about losing them).

I also take them off to shower, wash dishes, swim, etc.

Same! Always on.

[LWoods]

Yes, for running. No for weights/boxing/etc. I wear them running mostly because I tend to run during lunch at work and I don't trust my co-workers not to open my locked desk.
