Thanks for all of the advice everyone, I think that I'm going to try the belly band solution. I'll try to let everyone know how it works when I get it and try it out.
I have used both smartcarry and pistolwear quite a bit. Both have worked well with a Seecamp for various distances up to half-marathons.
Now I favor pistolwear for running and normally carry a Kahr PM9 for training and exercise runs. The pistolwear does a better job keeping sweat off the pistol while the belt portion is softer and more comfortable.
I carried some when running in bear country (well its all bear country) and it was uncomfortable. I was using a shoulder holster that would just kinda bounce around. I just started carrying it in my hand.
http://www.pistolwear.com. Two holster styles designed specifically with the jogger in mind. Could be described as an improved modified bellyband worn low around hips. Check it out.
I carry a Taurus PT740 in this and it is pretty comfortable. I find it feels most secure and least obtrusive when carried about waistband height half tucked in my shorts. The liner of this holster seems to do pretty well keeping the sweat off the gun, also.
I have also seriously considered the one Carne Frio mentioned, but don't know how comfortable the straps around the back of the neck would be.
Running is one time I will carry off-body, but IN the hand, an Uncle Mike's belt pouch type of holster. Each lap around the park, I would switch hands. I used a J-frame, which is shootable with either hand, with training. A small side pocket holds speed strips. I held the pouch so my hand gripped the cylinder, for security and to keep the weapon oriented for a possible draw, and the zipper was unzipped, for access.
Of course, that was when my knees actually still allowed me to RUN. Now, it is fast walk/slow jog, with the dogs, with an SP101 or P229 in a Safepacker worn on a reinforced nylon belt.
I have a standard, thin runner's pack. You know, this type of thing.
Big enough for a Seecamp, cell and ID. There are wider ones, nice colors, too; pink especially doesn't scream "I'M CARRYING A GUN IN HERE." Of course, pink may scream something else.
Personally, I think jogger's pepper spray is going to be more useful. To each his own.
Recently tried a jog with my LC9 in an Uncle Mike's #10. Worked well. I do 10-minute miles though, so on someone who is running faster and harder that pistol might move around more.
