Dont blame you , it is different if it rains and you are already out, hopefulky it will clear later, if not another rest day won't hurt 😊

No need to feel guilty ☺

Extra rest days are good and there's nothing wrong with getting the stepper out.

I love the rain for running! I plan my runs around the weather forecast and have even run on two days consecutively when there has been unexpected rain. Give it a go next time, you might love it.

Not what you're looking for?
