Let's be clear about this - I don't like rain and I hate getting my head wet (I hardly ever go outdoors bare-headed). So what on earth was I doing at the end of a Parkrun, with rain running down my face, wet bare legs and still smiling? My new Karrimor run jacket protected me fine from the light rain (was a tad warm between showers) but the heavens opened properly at the end, soaking my shorts, plastering the jacket to my arms and starting to get through - and I was happily standing round chatting?
This running lark does odd things to a chap.

I ran on Wednesday and got caught in a downpour. I was drenched, and I squelched my way round, but spent most of the time laughing at myself. I think we may be closet masochists!
Thank you I know, it is kind of wierd and great that we graduated and actually running
You are defiantly a runner! I did the same on Saturday also. Not a park run mind you but a wet wet run. This running malarkey does do weird and wonderful things to us all!🤣🤣🤣🌧💦👏👏👏🤗
Yes, this running thing does very strange things to me too. I find myself out running in all weathers and strange times of day too - and I don't do that, especially if it's raining or dark. Weird, or what 😂🖖.... I think my body gets taken over by some other being, definitely not me 👽👻

I hate rain, but now the only thing I can do in the rain is jog

I know, it is kind of wierd and great that we graduated and actually running
