Rain!

No running this morning. It is absolutely chucking it down outside. I have no problem with running in the rain, but the site we are at has no showers or anywhere to dry clothes and it's horrible drying clothes in a motorhome. But moving to a new place today which will have the facilities and it's gonna rain all week 😩 so have no choice but to run in the rain. Do you guys enjoy running in the rain β˜”οΈ?

Love it! It cools my pulsating pink skin down a treat!! Especially this time of year when it's warm - can't say I'll love it in the winter when it's chucking it down and freezing cold! You might just be a convert once you give it a go! Enjoy (hopefully!).

That sounds like bliss! Not a sentence I ever thought would come out of my mouth a) about running and b) in the rain! This running malarkey does crazy things to our brains! Let us know how it goes.

My run was in a light shower this morning ,and I enjoyed it . But I wouldn't have run in it if I was in your position you did right you can do your run when you move on there's No rush.

We sure do! It's cooling and enables you to keep going whereas you might get too tired and quit if the weather was too warm

Hopefully,your running gear should be dri-fit and should dry really quickly. most gear these days is

I have a cheapo hooded rain resist jacket and I wear a cap If it's really teeming down I put my cap on and then put my hood up as well as it keeps the back of my neck dry

Growing up in Ireland the rain has never bothered me as you just had to get on and do whatever regardless otherwise you'd be stuck inside most of the year!

I love rain and am one of those crazy people you see with her face in the sky on wet days! I fnd it very life affirming πŸ™‚ so running in the rain is fab. It's fun, honest πŸ€—

I'm actually moving to Ireland in a week or so. So probably should get use to it πŸ˜‚

I enjoy running in the rain but like you it is a problem in a small motorhome. Not worried if there are no showers on the campsite as I can wash in the sink but the thought of wet clothes hanging around inside is offputting, especially now that my husband runs as there is twice as much stuff to dry.
