Week 2 Run 2

I saw this lovely picture that (presumably) some kids had done in their driveway 😊 it really made me smile!

I had to carry my phone today as it was too warm to wear my jacket that has pockets, does anyone have any tips for the best waist belt to carry bits and bobs? The Flip belt looks good but is a bit pricey, is it worth it?

I WAS going to go to a specialist sports shop to get a new running belt that I could put my phone in, of course they are all closed, once they reopen, goodness knows when you Could go into a sports shop and try out various running belts that you could put your phone into, they have pouches for that.

I’ve been looking on Amazon a they are still delivering but don’t know which to pick. The Flip belt is Β£20 and doesn’t have zips then there’s an Amazon one that gets good reviews for only Β£8 so looks promising but I don’t want it to be a false economy πŸ€”

That's lovely - theres a bit of a drive to encourage kids/folk to put rainbow pictures in their windows as a symbol of hope.🌈 I have a rainbow sun catcher that I am going to put up.

As for belts - I have a few, depending on how much I need to carry with me! I do have a flip belt but find it really hot to wear!

Think this might just be me being 'odd'! I hate running in buffs and hats too!!πŸ™ƒ

I love the flip belt. There's a clip to attach your keys and you can even get a curved bottle for water 9when you are running long distances). No idea if the cheaper alternatives are good but I saw it as an investment. I wear it around my hips and haven't found it too warm. :)

Thanks helenwheels I realised when I was looking on amazon that most of the belts including the Flip belt had a delivery date of 24 April 😣 so I just ordered a cheap one that could be delivered today. Hopefully it will be fine but if not it will keep me going until I can get a Flip belt delivered 😊
