Running in the rain

[ju-ju-]

Splashing in a river of rain and getting utterly soaked gave my heavy heart a warm hug.

The patter of rain on leaves and the rhythm of my feet anesthetised my brain from pain.

Running restores in a way nothing else can especially when its an adventure too.

Lovely post Ju-Ju. Looks like a very wet one! I don't mind running in a light shower but if it's full on waterproofs I run indoors

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to Cliff_H]

Ha ha thank you, it was very wet but fun too 😎

That looks proper wet. Not ventured out in rain like that yet.

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to Hidden]

You should, it's actually really good fun!!

This expresses exactly how I feel but far more eloquently than I could have put it. Sorry your heart was heavy in the first place but I'm glad you found some solace x

Thankyou so much

Only once have I chosen to go out when it's that wet - also been caught out once! At my local running club a coach was taking a group of us beginners out on a run, it was pouring with rain ... he stood there with the rain dripping off him and simply told us not to worry because we would only get wet once and that as long as we kept running we wouldn't be cold. The comments from the group aren't suitable for this forum!!

Brilliant!!!

I do like to run in the rain, as long as it isn't freezing cold as well! Glad I'm not the only one.

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

I agree, in winter you have to stay warm..

Brilliant! The closest I'll get to that is a cold shower for the moment - can't get out to run, it's too damn hot here. 33°C at 6 pm, and it's going up to 38 until Saturday

LOVE IT! (Not your heavy heart - sorry to hear that, but the video is great!). I got caught in a very heavy downpour yesterday - fun watching people's faces as they drive past! I was on the pavement/road though, your route looked VERY muddy 😕

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to skysue16]

Well done you, nothing like getting soaked, it's good for the soul 😎

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

There was a lot of squelching and heavy breathing too!!!! Xxx

Panthering another great phrase and a lovely way to describe your run. Hope heavy heart is slightly less so now and on the mend

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thankyou so much..... and yes I will get there 😎
