The excitement of running in the rain !

I did my W8R2 this morning and as I was doing my walking it began to drizzle very lightly and as I started to run my dream came true ; rain whilst running ! Oh it was lovely , a wonderful sensation and for some reason it took my mind off the running; ok the great Pod cast helped as well as did the various people I had to pass as I was out just after seven today and not my earlier time, when I see very few people ... Who knew so many people walk that early who do not have dogs!

Well done !One more run until the final week !

I've always had a love hate relationship with running in the rain .

If it's raining when I'm due to go out then I don't like to go .

But if it starts while I'm out then I enjoy it 😁

Exactly the same here. I won't go out if it's raining, or is planned to rain, but when I'm out in it it doesn't really bother me.

Oh, I love running in the rain! When I got up this morning and saw it was raining I wanted to go out! I mustn't, I'm on a rest day after a long run yesterday, but that's how much I love it!

Running in the rain is the best!

I can't wait for the heat to end and to get in some nice autumn runnning. I find it so much easier to run when it's cooler.

Ooohh thank you Mrsrun and your repliers (is that a word!?).

I’d just talked myself out of going out in the rain (still on W1 😞) but I’m now going to get trainers on and give it a go! X

I keep checking Google to see if it will rain here tomorrow , in hope that it will ! I listen to Dan Snow History apps.. Some are good the Liverpool one was great , the mistress one awful. I also listened yesterday to The Chatfulness Podcast... Just conversation between two lads.. Takes your mind off the time thing . .. Happy running.
