My favourite reason is that it makes me feel like a superman and gives me mental toughness. The result is that if it's raining on a race day it gives me an edge over all the people who are cursing the rain and feeling negative. In Sweden they have two sayings - "There's no bad weather, only bad clothing" and "Rain is just liquid sunshine". I love running in the rain.

That is paradise. When I wish it was raining on hot days, I will purposely run through neighborhoods where a lot of sprinklers will be on so I can run through them.

So it looks like you're on fire! I always thought that was cool. @X-country2 One thing I didn’t mention because I thought it was pretty silly is that after you finish running in the rain, (because your body is so hot) steam is literally coming out of your hair/head.

Certainly not something I want to do very often, but it's good from tiem to time. I always feel so hardcore when I run in the rain.

And when it does, it's usually not that bad or lasts very long (compared to people outside SD). @diana Weather seems to be at extremes for people lately. Either really hot and humid or raining too hard to even step outside. Hopefully it'll stay somewhere in between for everybody :) @lindsay The weather does seem to be a lot worse for people on the Eastcoast. Hope things turn up for the better! Or you could use your treadmill, even though you haven't for 14 days!! :) @Chris Barber That's a good quote, definitely going to tell people that if they ever complain about a little rain, lol. @Anne I don’t know about Coronado, but I was going to say that it’s fortunate I’m in SD since it doesn’t rain that often.

I've quoted that to people probably over 1,000 times in my lifetime...man, that's a lot of rainy days.
