Rain, what rain(?)

Well it's W5R2 and it's safe to say that I got a little bit wet on today's run! First time of running in the pouring rain and as a glasses wearer, it meant that for most of it I was running "blind". But WOOHOO, I found it so exhilarating! It was like being a child again. I was already wet through, so why not splash in the puddles. GREAT FUN!

Haha, no fear of me going too fast - I'm a plodder. As for the cap suggestion, I'm not really a hat person, but I can see the advantages of giving one a go. 😀

Neither am I but it keeps the rain off your specs, and helps keep you dry of course

Get the cap. I have the exact same issue and following being given the same tip on here I tried it. It's a game changer!
