I just went for one heck of a jog in the rain. Soaking wet. But I loved it! What's your preference?

I like doing LOTS of things in the rain to include running! But only if it's warm summer rain.

I'm from Russia. My eye color changes between gray-blue-hazel-green (colors I noticed, someone said she saw light brown once, I looked in the mirror that evening they were green). I don't see how that effects me liking to run in the rain . . . which I do, until you mix sand into the mix, then it becomes a chore.

I don't even remember what this conversation is about but having a Russian Marine involved is pretty dang cool.

I'm more of a long walks on the beach and a movie night on the couch type of guy. But I'm always down for something CRAZY like moving at slow velocity through precipitation.....without a PT belt.

I run everyday regardless of what the weather is. I enjoy running on the rain as it forces me to enhance my form.

I enjoy running in the rain, especially when it is warmer outside. Cold and windy rain is not fun.

Running in the rain makes me feel like I could run forever, plus you don't overheat which is great. You just need light shoes to begin with so the water drains and you are not running with weights on your shoes

LTJG Daniel Bouysou If you dress appropriately, the weather should not be a factor in getting pneumonia. I had a nice vented running suit that was semi-water resistant and it kept light rain off. But it was some kind of synthethic fabric that dried really fast anyway so as soon as it stopped raining, my body heat and the wind would dry it and sometimes if I ran long and far enough, I'd be dry again by the time I got back to the barracks.
My running days started with cross country in high school and when we got sick, the coach made us come to practice and we just kept running (but not quite as hard) and dang if we didn't actually get better sooner. I was never down more than a couple days with a cold and it never went to pneumonia.
Then, all of that changed for me. At about the 16-17 year mark of my time in service, I got sick on ship and spent the better part of 6 months coughing. I have no idea what caused it but something was aggravating it...
I tried to think of what might have done it and three things come to mind:
#1 Inhaled fiberglass working in the attic of MATSG HQ (NAS Pensacola) to install the first network system. The insulation was blown fiberglass and it just floated around. The dust masks you get at places like Lowe's and Home Depot don't work too well and it leaks around the bridge of your nose. They helped some but not enough. I knew asbestos was bad but didn't realize that fiberglass can be just as bad. It doesn't get swept out of your lungs by the cilia. Instead, it embeds and continues to poke and irritate your lungs. I never smoked but this may have increased my risk for lung cancer. : (
#2 While at TBS, we were doing the 9 day war (MOUT) and a CS grenade got tossed through the window on the 3rd floor where I was with a Navy Corpsman who forgot to bring his gas mask. He sounded like he was choking to death so I gave him my gas mask and about that time ANOTHER grenade came throught the window and filled it up so thick with CS you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. My throat closed up, I couldn't open my eyes and I crawled out the 3rd floor window onto the fire escape to get away from it, but I think it may have burned my lungs. Lesson learned. You have to take care of yourself before you take care of others, or there won't be anything left of you to take care of them with. I should have let the Corpsman deal with the consequence of his being forgetful and to this day, my lungs aren't right.
#3) While on a Med Float, I spent the better part of 6 months coughing and wheezing. Allergies to the dust in the ventilation system? Perhaps, but it may have been precipitated by the damage done to my lungs when I inhaled so much highly concentrated CS. Had what seemed like a low grade pneumonia going on (walking pneumonia?) but ever since then my lungs have never been quite the same. I can still inhale deep and it doesn't limit my ability to run and my breathing keeps up with my legs, but when I exhale deeply I wheez. And I sing in choir, so now when we have to hold a long note, I simply can't do it; have to do it in two breaths.
So in conclusion, if you dress properly, running in the rain probably isn't going to give you pneumonia. Not being dressed right and getting too cold and wet might do you in, but I never had a problem dealing with rain. I'm reasonably certain that a combination of the above factors is what did me in and NOT running in the rain. : (

I personally don't like Jogging at all.. I'm more for swimming and cycling. Easier on the knees.

As long as it's not coming down too hard, running and biking are both enjoyable in the rain. Not sure I'd want to try it in a downpour, though.

Sir, if you never tried it, one of 2 things will happen: you LOVE it or you HATE it, no middle ground. Personally I'll take the LOVE side

I recommend you let people choose, especially if it starts getting cold up there in WY: those who run with you and the rest who want to stay indoors in the gym. Worked great for us to 'peer pressure' to run without risking your position making people intentionally sick ;-)
