Wet T shirt competition

I don't need a running jacket. I can run in the rain - my 3 running tops have not made it into the wash yet so I wore a cotton t-shirt. Had too much to drink last night so decided to do a bit of run walking this morning. Ended up doing 7.75k in an hour but I loved it. A no pressure run. Feet were soaked, mud all up my legs but I was really happy. The rain didn't bother me while I was running although I did feel a bit stupid on my warm down walk with the T-shirt clinging to me. Selfie showing my Mo (not long to go now before I can shave it off) and the effect of an hour in the rain. ;-)

I think Go Outdoors do a couple of merino base-layers that are reasonable. My strategy was to wait for my dad to get too tubby for his, then nick it!!

It still gets soaked, by the way. It just doesn't get as cold or heavy.

You'll get cold you will, not having a dry jacket to wear after your run. Don't say I didn't warn you. Nag nag

Well done GF. Not for having too much to drink last night though, obviously but for turning out for a run inspite of yourself Nag nag

Get a lightweight running Jacket! You can wear it round your waist til you've finished yoru run, then pop it on afterwards to stop you getting chilled to the marrow on your walk home.

Was it Mo Run today????????????
