For the Runners - anyone run in the rain?

This is true... you don't want to get chilled. That would be no fun. I was thinking of a warm humid day with a light rain.

Well, right now, I think it's about 70. It's supposed to be about 75 by the time I get home around 3:45. So probably no jacket.

Running in warm rain is awesome, running in cold rain not so much! I wear a hat when it's raining. IMy favorite is running in the snow! But not running on ice, learned that the hard way and ended up with a hip injury.

Also for wet shoes after you are done put some newspaper in them to absorb the moisture. Enjoy!

A vest would be good for the rain...no sleeves to get you all hot and sweaty but can still help keep your core warm if it turns cool. But if it's going to be 75 I don't think you need to worry. Around 50 degrees is when the real danger comes into play.

And now it doesn't even look like it's going to rain! Haha - the storms are holding off till about 7 according to weather.com, and there's only a 5% chance of precip. this afternoon while I'm running.

All I have to say is wear water resistant pants. I made the mistake of wearing cotton like ones and well they absorbed water and got so heavy that they dragged way past my shoe and so my friend had to come pick me up, it was pretty funny haha have fun!
