Accidentally discard after pausing activity

My wife is constantly losing activities when she pauses a run for instance at a crosswalk. The user interface makes it way too easy to discard by accidentally brushing the touchscreen. It's worse in the winter, but it just happened again after she paused a run, then reached in her pocket for a gel. When she pulled the gel out her watch had already discarded the activity.

This seems like an easy one to fix by burying the discard option or making it a button press option vs. a touchscreen option.

Anyone else have this issue??
