Rain and wind please go away so I can 🏃

I want to go running as I haven't run in 2 weeks due to work commitments and build up to Christmas. I have had a hard few months suffering from stress, migraines and feeling low and running really helped me to get better and feel more positive. Weather here is miserable, I am really hating Christmas and boxing day away from my family, and all I want is a better weather to go out and run. HELP 😂😂

I've been out this morning, first time in 9 days.... I say just go, you will feel invigorated... but then I quite like running in the rain...

Just get out and run in the cold and rain!

I did this morning and feel so much better for it!! :)

Go go goooooo 🏃🏽‍♀️

I always go out when it's raining for exercise and I find it's better when it's raining as the parks are quieter.

Running in the rain can feel really good! As can the nice warm shower when you get home! Give it a go 👍🏻👍🏻

It’s not too bad when you’re out in it although, granted, it doesn’t look too inviting. There’s not an awful lot of people around either. I’d say go for it 👍🏼 you’ll feel so much better afterwards xx

Did you go??? If not, just get your kit on and go...you’re waterproof, it might be a bit harder in the wind and rain but I’m sure you’ll feel better for it. It doesn’t have to be long or far, just do what you can, enjoy yourself!!
