Today I completed my W3D2 run in the pouring rain and it was wonderful! I was the only crazy person on my running path and I enjoyed the complete solitude.
As the water was running down my face and I was struggling through the last three minute run, I felt such a sense of awe that I was actually doing this and taking it so seriously.
Not too long ago I would have used the rain as an immediate excuse to skip a workout but not today, today I did it anyway and it felt great! Only thing I could have done without was dodging all the worms that came out onto the path because of the rain but it was all good.

It's a great feeling, running in the rain, well done for not letting it put you off!! I remember my first time and I felt like a real runner cos nobody but a real runner would do this surely?!
I run in town and also did a W3 run in the drizzle this week - just be very careful of any metal covers/strips on the pavements as they are slippery - loved my run and think it was the best yet! Onto Week 4 tomorrow...
I love running in the rain, and completely understand what your saying. Running though puddles is also great
And the slugs! I run along a muddy river bank avoiding all the black slugs. My Dad would have squashed them ALL! I enjoy running in the rain too, nice and cool.
