Do you like to run in the rain? Do you do it anyway even if you're not a fan?
Did you hear this song as a child?
Ahhh, there is something SO refreshing, calming and peaceful about running in the summer rain. It's awesome. An added bonus is that the usually crowded riverside pathways are pretty much empty when there are the frequent Yiwu downpours. Which was the case this morning, while I went for a slow, easy paced 15km run in the rain. No music, not much people traffic, and no set pace to try to keep to: just running at the pace that I felt like through the drizzle to slightly heavyish rain. I have mentioned my dislike on here for running on the track in the rain, but out on the pavements and by the river is a different story. Now, yesterday I made a couple of references to a classic song from my childhood, and one that I hadn't thought about in a very long time (until yesterday's email and confirmation of my 19th position at my last race). I didn't even know it's proper title or who sang it, but after a small search on trusty youtube, I've found that particular song! So, for your aural pleasure, well, maybe (and particularly those who don't know this song or didn't hear it as a kid) here it is: '19 Not Out' by The Commentators http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3bl4xaFZMM

I don't mind running in the rain, but I don't really love it either. I don't like feeling soggy or having the rain in my eyes if it's coming down at a slant. I'm glad you had an awesome run in the rain though!!! I know it can be really refreshing at times!

Yikes, running in the lightening? No way. I can see why you'd opt for a nap option instead. Way to go! You must have needed the sleep hey, so that's awesome too (I often think that sleeping should count as our 'running training' too, as its so important to balance out the running and get enough rest, something I am pretty negligent of, oops...)

I enjoy the rain during warm weather. That cold weather rain is just miserable lol.

I have never heard that song, but I like the beat of it. I like anything I think I can run to lol Running in the rain is a hard call for me, I have been really ill a few times after running in the rain, but a few weeks I went w/run buddy and it was refreshing. It has been so hot it has been impossible to get outside so rain right now means things might cool a bit :)

Karen, for some reason that song used to crack me up as a kid and me and a friend would sing it on repeat (much to the annoyance of our folks at the time probably). :)
