Rain Run (Read 713 times)

Do you enjoy running in the rain? Why!? BTW, I love running in the rain.

i like running in light rain, emphasis on light. Once I got caught in this wicked rainstorm though during a long run and the wind was blowing and the rain was cold and stinging. I hated it, but ran superfast trying to get home!

I love running in the rain One of my best runs was in the summer --- it was in the evening, humid as hell ... and the sky opened and started POURING. It was such an exhilerating run -- and my husband was waiting at home with a towel

Love it. Generally, a nice light mist is refreshing, but on the hot, humid days, I can always go for a downpour in the middle of a run. Always seems like a divine intervention to me, because it gives me a second wind at just the right time!

Another vote in favor of running in the rain.

It rains in Portland, OR almost every day from October through April, and it almost never rains during the summer. I don't mind running in the rain if the following is also true: the temperature is above 60 the rain is light and not falling sideways the surface is not mud That said, I always prefer dry conditions; however, unless I want to take off half the year every year, running in the rain is a necessity.

Gotta love running in the rain in Juneau or you will hate running!

Well, I guess it all depends on the rain. We here in Juneau have to endure some pretty heavy rains in September and October which we all know is when we are at our height of fall marathon training. So this fall during our longer runs it would be raining so hard that the rain drops would bounce back up about an inch or two. My feet would be cold and wet and sliding around in my wet socks and shoes. I lost two toenails and gained a blister on my insole from my feet getting so wet. It was not very fun. That's why I love to run marathons in Northern California and Nevada. It's almost always dry and cool during the race. That's all I have to say about that.
