Lovely, lovely rain!

7 Replies

Just did W7R2 in a light rain/drizzle - very refreshing, and it felt like I was serious about this running lark!

Not sure how I'd feel if it was proper bucketing down, though :D

I like running in the rain- as you say its refreshing as long as it doesn't get too heavy !

I've found that the best way to deal with being caught in heavy weather is to try to feel heroic about it. When there's lightning about, and you're crossing a hill top that's not so easy, though.

Yep, as I was running past people walking with brollies I was chalking up imaginary points for resilience!

Ah! If you got to run past people with brollies you could also have had conversations with your imaginary companion, Ernest Shackleton, as you approached them. Either that, or tell the little goblin to your left that he must keep quite, otherwise the people are going to see him and the bad men will come and take him away again.

I love the rain, if I check the forecast and it's going to rain, say, tomorrow, I might even reschedule my runs! I've even been known to slip another one in, just so I can enjoy the rain!
