W3R2 - cross!!!!!!

15 Replies

Good morning you all. Got up at 5h30, got my gear ready to do w3r2 and what do you know, it is raining hard!! Grumpy, my routine shot. Not in the mood for jogging (walking?) in this weather. Will do it later in the day, and if still raining, will just have to face the weather. Have a good day everyone :)

Remember life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance (or run) in the rain

I always made a pint of running no matter what, in the rain, with a hangover... I figured it would give me less of an excuse to wriggle out of runs in the future! Best of luck with your run later today.

- could be worth it to try running in the rain. I actually really enjoy it!

I hate running in the rain too - so I don't. :)

I know a lot of people on here embrace running in the rain, but I'm not one of them! I don't mind if it starts while I'm out and running, but I hate the warm-up walk in the rain. So I'm with you - I get really grumpy if I've planned to run first thing and the weather doesn't cooperate :D Hope you have a great run later.

I find I have to go whatever, or its too easy to find excuses. And as long as I wear a hat, I actually enjoy the rain. If it's hard I wear my sleeveless cycling top, otherwise just get wet... I do get seriously hot... important to get in the warm shower quickly when I get back.

I don't mind that, it's me against the elements. Makes the post run shower even better ;-)

Apparently running in the rain is great. Have walked for hours in the rain, and that was OK.

Dragging myself out of bed into a dark morning when it is raining. Nope, not for me thanks!

It's supposed to be better later today, so fingers crossed you will be out later :)

I can cope with rain but its so windy here today it would be one step forward and 2 back. So I have planned to use a treadmill. Only for 2nd time in 8 weeks and really don't like it, but can't bear to miss a run. Hope you get your's later.

I don't mind rain so much (it cools my red face down) but I hate running in very windy conditions. Hope you can get out there later.

Running in the rain is fun! All those puddy muddles to run through

Running in the rain is a wonderful experience.OK, you get wet, but my goodness it is so exhilarating.

We pass this way but once, so we need to embrace each day.

I love running in the rain! The wind is more of a problem - and a combination of both is the worst thing! In this country you have to embrace all weathers though, even the heat can be a problem.

Heat is a big problem for me - create too much of my own LOL! I need the rain to cool down and being a romantic, my simple pleasure is; running in the rain looking upwards and catching the droplets. I couldn't run first thing in the morning so good on you for getting up to do it!! Hope you find time later :)

Hi, I did my run this afternoon- just finished when the rain starts again! But I found that I'd rather run early in the morning. I love reading all your replies - makes my day even better! :)
