It's Raining, It's Pouring!
So I woke up this morning for my run, and it was pouring outside. I am not going to lie to you, I got back in bed. I am going to run indoors today at the college. Somehow though, I feel like a total failure. After all, it may be raining the day of the marathon. I won't be able to go indoors if that is the case. I am going to have to face the elements sooner or later. (Especially while training in December.) What do runners typically do in Gail force winds and pouring rain? My running jacket doesn't even have a hood! I haven't ever seen anyone running with an umbrella, so I'm assuming you either have to be really tough, or there is some amazing product that keeps you dry. By that same token, if it IS raining during my marathon, how do I keep my feet dry?

Maranee, So proud of you! I know that when I push myself to do something that is really hard, especially physically, that I feel so good, when I'm done. I wonder how you work in time for getting all that you, done. You have such great goals and experiences. My goal this morning is to get the lawn mowed! Best wishes for your runs! tw
ReplyDeleteNo suggestions for feet but I have found that running with a baseball cap in the rain can be helpful. It helps keep the rain off your face. Also, a good running jacket that wicks away the water (no water absorption) so you stay dry underneath is super nice, especially on long runs. There is a good chance for rain in April in SLC.
