Go on...just get out there...! Or as my husband used to say... " It's only rain.. when you're wet, you're wet.."

( He usually offered these supportive words from the comfort of a warm bed..:)

You can do this.. I started In October last year, and had wind, rain, hail, snow and ice.... you do, just get on with it, and for me, every run had a positive side...hard to believe.. but true. hence my many posts... :)

So..lay your stuff out the night before.. a good hat and a buff to stop rainy drips down the back of your neck, and a hot shower when you get in. Sorted !

I look forward to your post! :)

Well that does look a bit chilly, will forward my weather screenshot later! About to go out for w8,r1. Onwards and upwards. Just layer up 😊 Happy running and keep smiling.

The rain there is only the one raindrop icon thing so it's not torrential. also,if you can go out a bit later in the morning once then sun is a bit higher in the sky, and the frost has had a chance to melt then it might not be as bad as you think

I bought an Aldi running cap for £4.99 which even has a led light in the brim 😊 Matches the ligjtweight hooded rain jacket I got there for £6.99 😊 I put the hood up, over the cap when it's raining fast, or when it's really cold. by the time I warm up it's usually off my head as I have got too toasty.

It's not bad weather at all yetl,and it's been quite balmy out there, once you have warmed up ☺

Not what you're looking for?
