I was just wondering what fellow bespectacled people do when it rains? Today was my first run wearing my specs - normally I wear contacts - and it was almost as blurry as when I went with nothing! Although I didn't fall over this time... 
So... Any tips?
I go without glasses on when I run, and everything is blurry!!
I don't know if a cap would keep the rain off? Probaby not.
I guess contacts are the only way.
I've run out of contacts! 
A cap? That could work!
Thanks for the super speedy reply 
A cap witrh a decent peak works for me too. Spend a little extra for a running specific job and you get something breathable with a built in sweat band. My last one came from eBay.
I normally run with my glasses on unless its raining then i wear my contacts
personally i don't like caps because i get a hot head and a strange claustrophobia type panic!
Glad it isn't just me! I decided to run in my glasses last Monday instead of my contacts and got caught in a thunder storm, I had to remove my glasses as I couldn't see a thing! Luckily for me I was running with a friend so followed her and trusted her to warn me of any hazards I might miss. I will be sticking to contacts in future if the weather is looking dubious.
I wear glasses and generally speaking a peaked cap works. However, last week there was a fine drizzle when I went out, the sort that floats around in the wind, and it came onto my glasses so that I couldn't see where I was going!
You will probably think I'm mad but we had a fantastic run in the thunder storm, we both got soaked to the skin but haven't laughed so much in ages. An experience I can recommend everyone tries at least once!
Heehee I think running makes us all crazy! One of my favourites was the time I had wind, rain and hail all at once. I came home with little red bruises all over my face - when people asked I said I'd been attacked by Smurfs... The run was exhilarating!
haha. I remember you blogging about that run. this post did make me laugh when you put about not falling over ~ wouldnt be kate if you didnt fall over!!
off on a tangent now. are you off to uni in september?? x
& Ive got a baseball cap but havent had the guts to wear it yet. saving it for a rainy day that is actually chucking it down when I go out running
Hi Shelly!
I am indeedy - definately ready for uni now. Cardiff watch out! No. Seriously. Watch out! I may run into you 
I've not run for weeks and weeks so it felt so good to get out again - I'm trying to get out out of my doom and gloom mood and I think running will help
How's it going with you?
x
very well thanks Kate. recently had a house move & now back up to 30mins running & hoping to repeat b210k then move up & up!! so glad to hear you are off to Uni. you need to get out of your doom & gloom, you're young with the whole wide world in front of you! ~ mind you, if the sun shone a bit more we'd all be smiling a bit more! take care. shelley x
Baseball cap with a large peek helps cover the specs...Good luck
My first cap was a fancy bright red one with sequins on it. I got caught in a really heavy downpour but my trusty red cap kept most of the rain off my specs. Once I was home I took the cap by the peak and gave it a good shake in the shower to get the worst of the water off it. There was a cracking sound and the peak went all limp and wobbly - ooopppss didn't like getting so wet it appeared. My new one was bought from a running shop cost a bit more but is very light weight and breathable so my head stays cool while the rest of me boils.
Having the same problem here. I think it's rained every run so far for me. My glasses get covered and then start slipping down my nose. Next run I think I'll just take them off, aim straight and hope I don't bump into anything.
