But after getting so many encouraging and inspirational replies, I decided that I'd give running in the rain a shot today, when I was scheduled to run 5 miles.
But once I saw that the forecast called for heavy rain, flooding, and the possibility of tornadoes and/or hail, I again stayed in bed, and packed my gym bag for hitting the treadmill later.
So, for those of you who regularly run in the rain, did you brave today's weather? I'm curious about other people's cutoff -- at what point is there just too much rain/snow/cold/hazardous weather conditions?
UPDATE: I'm especially curious about those training for one of the Baltimore Running Festival races. It's making me nervous that my schedule is getting thrown off so close to the race!
