It is wet.
You will get wet.
You only get wet once, then you are wet.
You will dry out when you get home.

The rain is refreshing and keeps you cool. Try it!

You are not out in the rain for long and it will cool you down. I would advise having a hot shower straight after the run and then doing your stretches. Put kitxhen roll in your shoes to dry them
As has been mentioned, you'll hopefully be getting a bit sweaty anyway out on your run! I'm in my second week & got drenched a few times last week, knew i was hitting the shower anyway before then heading into work so didn't think much of it, i oddly quite enjoyed it out in the rain though.

I have to admit I'm only a fair weather runner. I'm just back from W7R2 - postponed from yesterday as it was so wet.

I love running in the rain & there are fewer people about π
Thanks everyone. Of course you are all right- I did find the rain enjoyable and I felt like a proper runner who doesnβt let rain stop her π wonβt be concerned the next time!
