I am a weather wimp. There, I've said it and faced it! Not keen on too hot when running and rain is off putting. But I've read the posts here about running in the rain so this morning it was drizzling but I really needed a run. So dug out a lightweight waterproof hooded jacket and set off. 10 minutes later drizzle turned to rain but I kept going and completed my 40 mins run and I loved it! Now converted to wet weather running at least. So much cooler... and isn't rain good for the complexion or something....

Go you!
I like running in the rain, as long as I have dry socks to put on afterwards I am just dandy. Only problem is my glasses!

I still haven't had to go out in the rain. I hope my first experience will be as positive as yours!
