After 10K in the rain l was drenched but it was meant to be overcast and dry. Didn't have a spare shirt so my car felt as if it's driven a wet old dog.
On the plus side, l like rain (l like any weather, actually) and running wet is great. For that run l downloaded one of Ry Cooder gigs so can't complain.
Still, the smell in the car lingers on....

Ry Cooder.... ooooh, it's been a long time since I've listened to him, but he's great. Must get that onto my running phone!
Glad it was enjoyable despite the rain. I find that rain is ok (if there's no way to avoid it) as long as it's not too cold at the same time. This time of the year it's normally fine, but give it a few months, and I'll happily jump through quite a few hoops to avoid running in it.
Cold and wet is a sure killer. I abandoned a run last December when l realised that the rain is actually freezing, it wiped off all the fun and introduced the fear of pneumonia. Oh well.
As for Mr Cooder, l had the privilege of seeing him in concert and a mate was one of engineers during his studio session. He doesn't run though
I’ve not listened to Ry Cooder in many years. I had a CD with Ry and Ali Farka Toure which was great. I like the rain too but also not so much the cold rain.
Oh, you should. I do all my longer runs with stuff similar to that, mostly. My idea is not to run to the beat, and instead just enjoy the surroundings and use music as an overall vibe. If you get the right mix of running location and mad music, you always remember that day
Yup. I am off for done rehab by walking my neighbour's dog. Trouble is he goes out the traps like a greyhound. I have to brace myself or run like mad to avoid the snatch
