Carrying cell phone while running advice

Yeah, your important and demanding job that lets you read and post on running message boards!

MAYBE YOU MISSED THE PART ABOUT BEING ON CALL, OR THE PART ABOUT HAVING 2 WEEKS A MONTH OFF.

I WOULD RATHER BE FLYING AND TESTING MY LIMITS - IF IT MEANS I ALSO HAVE TO RUN WITH A CELL PHONE - NO BIG DEAL.

AS FOR "SO-CALLED RESPONSIBILITIES", I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU CONSIDER "ACTUAL" RESPONSIBILITIES.

YOU HAVE BECOME A SLAVE TO YOUR TROLLING, AND ARE NOW STUCK IN THE UNPLEASANT POSITION OF EITHER BACKING DOWN AND ADMITTING DEFEAT, OR CONTINUING TO APPEAR FOOLISH.

I never worry, not even about your moronic, defensive, projecting assumptions!

WHY WOULD YOU WORRY? AS I SAID, WHEN NO ONE TRUSTS YOUR ABILITIES ENOUGH TO RELY ON YOU, YOU REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.

Way to work the quote tags, all-caps a-hole!

I call BS on your "interest" in what I consider actual responsibilities.

I never hid that I'm captured by the entertainment that comes from poking you easy targets. I'm done only when it stops being fun, no biggie!

I think it's awesome that you easy targets are so quick to take this stuff so personally and so willingly respond. Keep it going, geniuses!

quiet you, you've made your point. stop responding to everything.

also, if anyone ever sees one of those big backpack army phones at a yard sale let me know (seriously). that neighborhood dog should stop chasing me after i call in a napalm strike (not so seriously)!

Just to add, these responses to an obvious troll playing you for grins only prove the point that you're self-important losers!

I am sad to see you so easily conceded the troll war. Of course you are a troll and of course we all know that. The game here was to humour you until you either cried or went home. But openly admitting you are a troll was something I never foresaw as it the lamest of all options.

Poorly played sir. Poorly played.

Troll or sociopath? Anyways, what's the best way to stop the phone from getting wet? My boyfriend has an otter case for his but it's kind of industrial strength and is overkill for me. I actually like the idea of a ziplock just for during the runs. Anyways, I'm glad you guys are carrying your phones for emergencies at work and such, that could be our parents, brothers and loved ones you're saving.

I'm on duty for occasional one-week periods as a flight surgeon. If there is an aviation mishap involving aircraft at the air station I am assigned to, the mishap pager goes off and you have to call back immediately to find out if you need to be in a SAR helo en route to the scene. I bought an inexpensive black wallet-sized zippered pouch made by Case Logic which I think was designed to carry ipods while running. I don't use the arm strap that it comes with (it bounces around too much on my noodle-arms), instead I just loop the thin handle, which is comfortable, over my knuckles and hold the pouch in my palm - very easy and not too intrusive. I can put my cell in the pouch, it never gets wet, and clip the stupid mishap pager to the handle. I hate carrying it (just because it makes me nervous), but it's not intrusive or hard at all.

Let me tell you this. Cell phones ABSOLUTELY HATE MOISTURE. It can completely destroy them. So while every cell phone is small enough to carry on a run, if you anticipate a lot of sweat/rain, put it in a zip-loc.

When my wife was pregnant I carried a cell phone with me on those runs of an hour or more.
