Running in the Rain Tips & Safety

Running in the Rain Tips & Safety Notes

♥
Wear brightly colored Gear, flashing lights/vests

♥
Wear Goretex or trail shoes to keep your feet dry- at the least some whicking socks

♥
Use the sidewalk - sometimes the road shoulder can yield larger than normal puddles and cars sometimes swurve to miss them or they in fact try to get them to get you weT!

♥use waterproof tech holders for phone/ipod if not sometimes a thrifty ziploc can keep your technos dry!

♥
run without music- there is something cleansing and majestic about hearing the rain come down; take this time to unplug and tune into your breathing and mother nature

♥
stop fearing the rain; it's ok to run in the rain! Just don't run if you hear thunder or see lightening! Take a route that has shelter just in case the weather turns for the worst.

♥
Enjoy yourself- have puddle fun ( I do!!) but be mindful those puddles can be TRICKY and be deeper than you expect and may in fact give you a poor foot landing inside the hole and can you can really twist your foot/ankle- so be cautious in your playtime!

♥
wear visors/caps to keep the rain out of your eyes!

♥ When you get back home and need to dry out your shoes loosen the laces and stuff your shoes with newspaper and flip them upside down to dry!
