That's not going to be good for me and week 3. I guess I could learn to run in the rain. At least it's not snow!

I love running in the rain.0

What do you wear? I feel like I would get hot in my rain jacket.0

Depends how heavy it is, but for me I'd generally not bother with anything over my tech tee in summer, or fleece in winter. If it does get heavier, or windy, then I have a breathable Inov-8 running jacket.
Yes it does get warm inside it, and it can end up quite aromatic, but in windy conditions it makes a huge difference.
I used to have a cheaper non breathable running jacket and I'd end up as wet from condensation as I would have done had I not bothered.0 -
I did one of my week 4 days in bucketing rain, thought it might rain but not like it did. I wore a baseball cap, so glad I did because at least that kept it out of my eyes. That was the point I actually felt I could call myself a runner, I figured if I'm up and running in the rain, left the house knowing it would rain, then I have earned the title of runner0

A baseball cap is a great idea. Thanks to both of you!0

It was a Beautiful day Yesterday - if you like running in heavy sloppy snow.

I wear running goggles, so I have a rain hat. It's actually made to protect your face, head and neck from sun, but it's water repellant and has a super wide brim all the way around.

I also coated my running goggles with baby shampoo and then rinsed them off and re-apply this every so often. It keeps my goggles from fogging up pretty well. (The rubber seal on the top of my running goggles and my buff headband worn low on my forehead also keep the sweat from running into my eyes.)0 -
you can do it, it feels so good in the rain, just make sure you don't slip! Be careful!0
