Is it worth it??
It's been raining all day.
I'm restless and want to get my miles in today.

    Yeah, just don't wear a white shirt and you should be fine. In all seriousness, if you want to become a serious runner learn how to run in all kind of weather - snow, rain, heat, etc.

    Totally! I love the rain! It might encourage me to run outside instead of in the gym!

    One of my favorite times to walk/jog is when it's raining. Yeah you'll be soaked through to the bone. Expect it and you'll be just fine!

    It makes me feel like a hard core bad *kitten*. And I like that.

    Gonna shower when I get home anyways.

    loooove running in the rain, as long as there is no lightening. The heat has been so brutal here, that I can't wait for the rain to goout running.

    This is one of those 'romantic' things I'd like to do but haven't tried. I say.... go for it. =)

    I love it....as long as there's not lightening and thunder to go along with the rain. :) I say go for it....you'll stay cool and probably get a great run in.

    I've run 26.2 in the rain more than once. Rain is fun, but less fun after 3 hours out there.

    I dislike it when I'm not expecting it, but I'm happy to run in the rain when prepared. I almost always wear shorts, I find that gloves are the key for me (if it is cold).

    I can't say I love it, but I'll do it if I'm feeling twitchy and want a run.
    Wear a cap to keep the rain off your face, put your iPod or other gadgets in a zip lock bag and go for it!

    Running in the rain in warmer weather is fun.

    Running in the rain in chilly weather is as miserable as it gets for me.

    I love jogging in the rain! Once I ran like 17 miles in the rain and cold. I was super chaffed though so I don't recommend doing a long run in the rain!
