After two weeks off I decided to go for the first run of week five. I thought it was two lots of five minutes! Whoops, wondered why Laura said right your next run is coming up! Walked most of the last five minutes, too hot! I was faffing around this morning, last day off before back to work etc and didn't get out till 11am! It did feel wonderful to be back out there, ran round the boating lake to keep cool. I must get a different arm holder for my phone, spent a lot of the time having velcro rubbing on my skin and just couldn't adjust it properly. I think I will try the 'Y Fumble,' especially in this heat, everything is twice as annoying! I took water for the first time and it did help, still felt queasy at end, but as I haven't done anything for two weeks s'pose that's not a surprise.

Hubby's got a cold now, so am looking after him, ah well...

Runningwild, I don't know if's specifically an arm holder you're after, but I am a big fan of the flipbelt. I use it my for phone and keys and it doesn't budge or rub.

Hi Fletchasketch, yes I've heard they're are good. Ordered the 'y fumble,' now, but will bear in mind the flipbelt. Thanks,

:)

I love my flipbelt too, although sweat, new tight shiny shorts and a bit of fat loss means I may need to buy a new one in a smaller size!
