Yea, did it!! After all the hassle with run 2 I wasn't looking forward to run 3, but determination is my middle name!! So, armed with new earphones, which fit round my ears, (now no need for beanie hat to keep them in ears) new belt to keep phone in instead of arm holder which didn't work, and hey presto....it worked!!! Yipppeeee!!!!First song on Spotify....here comes the rain again!!! How very apt!!!

Thanks mergirl101, it made a lot of difference to be honest, I'm hoping I might even start to enjoy it eventually, if only it would get a bit drier it might help, Lol.

Well done! Almost there! Can you believe it?! I’ve got my W8R3 to do on Saturday. Can I ask where you got your belt from as I need to ditch my leggings with a pocket in the leg as they’re too thick and hot now that it’s getting milder....good luck with the next 3 runs! 🏃‍♀️👏🎉

I got it from amazon, there's lots of different ones on there, mine is just a stretchy piece of Lycra type stuff with slits in it to put phone etc in, it stays tight inside , so no movement or bouncing about, its ideal for what I want, there's also a keyring attached to keep keys safe. Good luck with your run. You can do it sweetie!
