Dilemma???

[Daith]

.....few spots on the window but I'm going... I think...I will let you all know....something magical about running in the rain but there's rain and there's RAIN!!! 🤣

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Yes, a few spots is one thing a downpour not such fun, did you go?

[Daith in reply to SueAppleRun]

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

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Daith]

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

hope you went?!!! That pic is amazing!!

[Daith in reply to Mummycav]

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?

Ominous looking clouds there!!

[Daith in reply to ToothPickJafah]

It has been fab here today for skies - reminds me we are not in charge at all.

[ToothPickJafah Graduate in reply to Daith]

No indeed, we are not!

I love moody skies! ☁️

[Gthants]

Was it rain ... or RAIN?! 😬😱

[Daith in reply to Gthants]

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!

[XenaZelda Graduate]

I love to run in the rain it is exhilarating, or if its sunny a lovely strong wind to keep you cool and top flaps in the wind...lovely. And yes i can smell the rain and my head tells me its coming

[MissUnderstanding Administrator On a break Graduate]

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

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Glad you made the run without getting drenched...those were mighty big clouds! Well done you!

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate]

🍏👏 ☔️ ☀️ Well done & we all learnt a few new things today🤣 I love that smell of rain too, but honestly didn’t know it had a name!

[Ziggyliscious in reply to Annieapple]

Me too ... I haven't yet been out in it tho ... it's my day, and it has rained ... should I?!🤔😬

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Ziggyliscious]

🍏 Go on! Rainy runs, are fun runs! 😊

[bennyratsong]

Enjoy every moment of that exhilarating weather!👍

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

[Daith in reply to Lindyjane]

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.

love running in the rain …however I prefer it to start whilst I’m already running 😂😂
