I avoid running in the rain if I can, any chance you can wait until it clears up?

but if you HAVE to, some tips

avoid roads with traffic, cars cant see well in the rain
wears something reflective
wear a light waterproof jacket, preferrably with flaps for ventilation
wear a hat, even if its just a baseball cap, rain on your head and face is really annoying.

Have you heard the Mike Sutton Story?

yeah, make sure there is no lightning. I love running myself. I absolutely love running in the rain. It is exhilarating. I finally got up to seven. I want to do a marathon. Way to go with the running.
Oh yeah put on something that is not going to sag, when it gets wet. Make sure it is a material that is not going to make your run a pain in the you know what. Have fun:)

My nike watch has every possible display character filled in?

I enjoy running in the rain, especially since it is very hot and humid here. In the winter when it is cold and raining I do not run. I also never play dodge the lightening bolt. So you might wear a rain suit made for running if it is chilly, or some extra clothing if it is cold, especially gloves and hat, but normally if it is not cool it doesn't matter. Never run when there is lightening in the area.

Don't u get tierd when u run?

Don't wear clothes that'll weigh you down or suck up water like a sponge. Be sure to eat something and take a shower after your run. I was in the middle of a 10 mile run once and it started pouring. We were at least 5 miles out from where we had started >,<. We were soaking wet by the time we got back. I love running in the rain though.
