I did! Dry the whole time - very hot and should have not changed my first choice of vest for t-shirt! 🥵

I made that decision on Saturday and with my tee shirt flapping in the wind realised vest would have been better

I did, with everyone smiling to themselves in my house as I left. It was hot. Couple of minutes before I left I'd changed from vest to t-shirt as it felt nippy when I poked my nose out to see if I could smell rain. They all laughed at that too. You can smell rain though, can't you?

It was ☀️ and no 🌧️. Think the strong winds blew it all through. I was known in my younger days for "inappropriate for the conditions" footwear that's just manifested today into running attire! I was 🌶️🌶️🌶️ it's a vest all the way now!

Go you!!! The weather at the moment is such a challenge with muggy heat and the monsoon downpours. So glad you got out!

I went out yesterday with my son and got soaked, never ran in rain before and though it was refreshing it seemed hard on the way back with wet clothes

Yes, there's rain and there's RAIN in my opinion. Soaked clothing is no fun but a light shower is lovely and very magical.
