Running in the rain

Living in Malaysia, it's quiet common a run will be postpone by rain.

After being disturb by rain a lot of times, I choose to ignore this factor.

The solution is: just run in the rain.

Here are some my experience on running in the rain.

What's the uncomfortable part of running in the rain?

1. You get wet.

2. Your shoes get wet.

3. Your socks get wet.

My solutions to these are:

1. Just get wet, it's fun

2. Run in the old shoes for next day while waiting the wet shoes to dry up.

3. Get more socks.

You have to do laundry more often, that's all.

For me, there's one more inconvenient which is I have to switch my nike+ sensor everytime. As I am not running a Nike shoes, I have to tie it up manually.

There you go, you won't miss a run anymore because of the rain.

In fact, when you get wet, it will bring up your spirit.

It's fun.

You got free hydration (sometimes I did swallow some downpour)

and it take away your heat.

What to aware of while running in the rain:

1. Aware of traffic if you running along a busy road

2. Choose a road that does not accumulate water

3. Avoid slippery surface or field. You'll slip. And running on a slippery surface put more pressure on your leg as you take every step carefully.

4. Of course you need to consider the lighting during the rain
