Running in the Rain ☔️

Never thought I'd actually enjoy running in pouring rain like it was yesterday. I battled through, even passing a fellow runner. One thing I noticed was how many motorists tried hard to avoid the huge puddles that accumulate at the side of the road and therefore spared me being covered in water. All but one! 💦 B*****d! 😬

Lol, me too! Last time I ran in pouring rain with street lights and my running torch, I went through a deep puddle in the first minute of the run. 🙄 Light rain is fine, but I do wish Teen Rainbow hadn't lost my showerproof peaked cap... :/
