Off the top of my head would be running in rain is amazing and should be encouraged, of course I’m talking about in summer weather. It’s so beautiful having the rain come down when you’re running, as long as you have a hat it won’t be annoying and get in your eyes. I always see the trail empty and turn into a ghost town, Ill never understood why, its as if people think the water will hurt them
New Balance has a few of their lines with a Gore-Tex liner. I’m not sure how well it’d stand up to heavy downpours, since you’d be getting water coming in where your foot goes in to the shoe, but puddle and such, they’re champs. I wore them walking through a grassy field that was wet from a recent downpour and my socks and feet stayed perfectly dry.
I’ll check it out! Some of the paths/trails I run are more of a puddle/washout problem, so that sounds perfect.
I’m also not above taping some saran wrap around my ankle to keep water from running into the shoe… If it’s raining, there won’t be witnesses to my ridiculousness!
I find it near impossible to start a run when it’s already raining, however, if it starts raining while I’m running, I love it. My favorite runs have been during absolutely torrential downpours. It just feels primal.
Running and crying in the rain while listening to a really painful song is the best therapy. Nobody really realizes you’re bawling either. It’s so freeing to just release everything out in the open and no one really notices you.

I love being out in the rain!
I just wish my shoes & socks wouldn’t turn into waterlogged lead weights when they’re wet. I really need to look for some rainy-day run solutions.

Zero cushion merino wool socks and very lightweight breathable shoes are your friends.
I only have 1 pair of shoes and no dryer :(
Stuff newspaper in them and leave them by an air vent, they dry pretty fast!
