Decided to do a nice little 10k this afternoon and 6k into it the rain started !! It was wonderful, quite heavy rain but I was quite warm by then, too warm for my Aldi rain jacket, so I just enjoyed it I will never let rain put me off again !! :)

I don't often set out if it is heavy rain but if it starts once I'm out really enjoy it.

Well done, I find the rain refreshing. Trouble is this time of year you got to watch out for the leaves on the ground, but keep at it and enjoy your running.

I was on an old railway line so was watching out for puddles I didn't want to get my lovely Brook Ghost running shoes dirty ;)

I like your style 😊, I run in brooks adrenaline and do my best to keep them clean. Don't seem to work though!

I was going to go running in the rain for the first time today, got myself ready with my rain running jacket and when I stepped outside it had stopped. I was quite disappointed...

Running in the rain is just wonderful. I find it almost liberating and splashing through puddles definitely brings out my inner child. Won't be long before you are itching to go out every time it rains! :)

Well done. You joined the Running in the Rain posse! Great innit

I jogged out and back with the dog this morning,up to the park in the torrential rain. He loved it too! I had a hooded fleece on. It weighed a ton by the time I got back. I've not run in my Aldi hooded jacket yet. Can't wait. It's going to run all day so I might get chance

Trail runs in the rain are the best! Love em!

It was a bit of drizzle when I set out so put my nice Aldi jacket on but I soon got too warm for it so ran in a t shirt, the rain jacket is so light I barely noticed it around my waist and the knot I tied stayed put so 10/10 for the jacket. My dog came too she loved it and splashed through every puddle ! :)
