Isn't the air just fresh and beautiful. Raindrops falling everywhere, bouncing off your clothes. A very refreshing experience.

Put on your poncho and listen to the raindrops pop all over you. Sit down in the grass, looking out from your cosy mini-tent. Explore rivers and ponds, check out small waterfalls or leaky drain pipes. You can run in virtually all weather.

Related sports are river running and beach running. If you dare, wear nothing but an extra large T-shirt.

Dressing for Water Running

Preference on amount of clothing required for water running varies widely among runners. A couple of runners that I see wear shorts, long sleeved T's and gloves at 50F! Experiment with how much clothing at various temperatures you need.

Rules for Water Running

Rule 1: Dress in layers. Outer layers can be added/shed easily.

Rule 2: Dress properly. When clothes get wet, they don't perform and you might get cold.

Rule 3: Hydrate. You may not sweat as much, but fluid replacement still needed.
