Wk9 R3 a butt dial disaster.

I did it.

Did my last run of the plan today, and managed it in under 30mins. Something went wrong my phone in my pocket, not only did I manage to butt dial my partner at least 10 times getting increasingly worried I had got into trouble, I managed to pause the C25K app and run 5.5km before I noticed!

I’ve loved C25K, every bleeding minute of it.

Looking forward to what’s next.

I had the same problem, and bought an armband to carry my phone. But I found those a) really uncomfortable and b) awkward to reach and view. I bought a runners belt instead and love it, much more comfortable than my phone bouncing around in my pocket, I barely notice that I am wearing it. It also has a clip to keep keys safe from falling out.

This is the one I got if that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion.

My leggings have a handy pocket in the waistband, and up until now, it’s been fine.

Think I sent him a text as I set off, and mustn’t have locked the screen! 🤦‍♀️ he kept calling me, or so I thought, which made me really annoyed with him, only to find out once I’d stopped it was me harassing him, poor guy. Perhaps I’ll give the belt a go if it happens again.

Congratulations on your graduation run, even if your butt was calling for help👍

You should be really proud 🎂 🥂

Now what’s next🤔

Hahahahaha! Didn’t think of it that way! There were certainly times where I’ve wanted to genuinely call for help!

Going to do the consolidation runs and have a think. Once Parkrun’s are back up and running I’ll definitely try my local one. Hampstead Heath. (The crime scene of my school cross country runs).

Don’t think marathons are on my horizon, but possibly a 10k at some point.

Congratulations on graduating! I had to smile at the butt dial. During one Parkrun my son managed to pocket dial me four times during his Parkrun in a different place. When I got to the end there were four voicemail messages each with four minutes of heavy breathing!

You are an inspiration because I have also lived every minute of C5K . I am now on week 7 and I was fatty at school who was totally not a runner. This feels so good!!
