I managed to get out early tonight and miss the rain but hats off to you! That takes some determination.

God I'm really dreading my first run in the bad weather, but I know they're only around the corner. I'd say that if you can do whatever run you're on in that kind of weather, you can do anything

I go out alone twice a week in-between. He calls it homework πŸ˜„

Great stuff. Always worth having a towel in the car for the excess and to sit on.

I don't even like walking on snow so think I'll be on treadmill then!

A run cap is cheap as chips as is a lightweight run jacket Running in rain is ok while you’re running but you soon chill when you stop. Get rigged out before winter πŸ˜ƒ

Yes I have no idea what to get for winter. Found out my jacket isn't waterproof!

They aren’t. They just keep the worst off. Waterproof, windproof ones are expensive but generally used by fell runners and those out in the mountains where being cold and wet is a no-no
