My first rain run

[paul1960]

I have always called runners who run in the rain mad for running in the rain but I thought I would give it a try and you know what I was right crazy getting wet and soaked is not fun at all but I did 10 miles which was good

Better man than I Paul

I will not run in the rain. Did it once and felt miserable. I think I got soaked so much in the Irish weather as a youngster I have a minimal tolerance for wet clothing anymore. I always spend extra on rain gear and then I don't mind being out in a deluge but only time I EVER enjoyed wet clothes was the fun of literally swimming along a main Street in India during the Monsoon

I'm a "Fair Weather" runner me. 100deg plus - fair enough. Light drizzle - nope.

Well done Paul. It was raining hard when I got up this morning and I really didn’t want to go, so I waited until it was just a light drizzle and also ran 10 miles (for the first time ever 😃)!

[paul1960 Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

Well done

[Elisabeth3 Graduate10]

Very light drizzle is okay but possibly avoiding rain.

I happened to escape any rain twice this week.

Well done Paul! 10 miles is epic under any circumstances. 👏👏 I personally love running in the rain, in fact I’m actively seeking it out at the moment. Give me rain over hot and humid any day. 🏃‍♀️💦🏃‍♀️

First ! Where have you been... rain..it's just wet Well done on your 10 miles... I opted out if rain this morning... flooded roads...

[Stephen_UK Graduate10]

Another rain runner here. I like a good splashy 5K. It works in summer, anyway. Winter, I’m not sure...

[Chris9R Graduate10]

I like running in the rain 🤪

[Getfitok]

I love running in the rain, I find the heat really hard work. How have you managed to avoid the rain for so long living in Stalybridge? 😂

[paul1960 Graduate10 in reply to Getfitok]

With great difficulty

[Ang33333]
