Running in the rain

[Oggy2401]

Completed my first run of week 3 today. It started raining before I'd even finished the warm up and stopped just after I got back. At least the rain stopped me thinking about the 3 min runs.

Rain is a multifaceted blessing... it’s a great distraction and it keeps you that bit cooler... I love it. Great job today.

Omg did you say 3 minutes of running 😱🏃‍♀️

[Oggy2401 in reply to Ibot]

Not as bad as it sounded before I did it 😂

[Ibot in reply to Oggy2401]

Really don’t feel ready 😳

Well done you. That’s amazing

It is cool and it is just wet... Well done you!

Oh how I’d love to run in the rain! It sounds so appealing, and there’s only been one occasion since mid June when I started the programme when it drizzled a bit! Bet you remained lovely and cool. 😀😀

[Oggy2401]

To be honest, it did give me something else to think about instead of the 3 mins running and it was cool😊 I thought I'd struggle with the jump from 90 secs to 3 mins but it was ok. It's also due to rain on my next run day 🙄🙄

Me too. Today. In the rain. Next time I’m going out in contact lenses rather than glasses! The 3 minute run was a killer though!

[Oggy2401 in reply to Mumtomanypets]

I had glasses too. Kept slipping off my nose😂

[Mumtomanypets in reply to Oggy2401]

I kept wiping them dry in the walks! At one point I thought it would be better to take them off and run blind!!

We need to invent windscreen wipers to go with our glasses keeperoners!

[Mumtomanypets in reply to Jundal]

Awesome idea!

A baseball cap keeps the raindrops off your glasses - I pinch my daughter’s! I feel very silly in it, but it does the job. 😄

[Jundal Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Out there, don't care!

[Elfe5 Graduate]

I love running in the rain as long as my torso & arms are dryish- so a light cycling jacket is perfect. 😀

If you like running in the rain, try running when it is snowing. The quiet is dreamlike - my fave runs of all time have been on trails in a light snow.
