Portlander here, but I somehow miraculously avoid running in the rain most of the time. I like it if I'm prepared, but if I get caught off guard I hate it. I need a hat to keep the rain off my face, and I prefer a really light long sleeve shirt.

I am not a fan of it, especially if it is cold. I'm going to try to get better about running outdoors in all weather this year, but we will see. I did a half marathon race in cold, wind and rain and had my hip lock up at mile 10...those last 3 miles were a walk, with occasional jogging portions mixed in. Completely torpedoed my time, nearly fell down a flight of stairs going back to the car, and felt like the hip socket was bruised for a week.

I ran a 5K last Saturday in the pouring rain. About 80 other runners were as crazy as me. Some left after they decided it was raining too hard to be safe. It was actually fun! I couldn't wear my glasses and the streets were a mess with puddles. My earbuds kept falling out from the rain hitting the side of my face.
