TIA Simply replace the sun/heat with being soaked/wet and cold.. i guess that's about it.. Personally, I prefer running in the rain on an actual run since you don't get to worry about dehydration that much. Somehow you have to take into consideration a decent changing room afterwards and you won't be changing the "shirt" only Quote Link to comment
Droidz1979 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Because of the bad weather the past week I was kinda pessimistic that i'd be able to make my usual weekend run today so I opted to dust off my badminton racquet and play the game again last Friday courtesy of the court that barely anybody plays during Fridays in our main office. Its a good 15-minute travel time but its somewhat relatively closer going home. As usual my skill-set barely had any improvement while the guys that I used to kick-ass back then were returning the favor. But back to my morning run, thankfully it did not rain early this morning and irregardless if I started it late again or shall I say way late than usual at 7:45AM since I was thinking that it might rain any moment since the weather was both cloudy and gloomy, I was still able to bodily force myself to get into my routine. Good thing it did not rain at all for the rest of my run and the sun barely peaked in between. The best part probably of the run was when the wind blew by while on an uphill climb along Embassy drive/street (?) at Blue Mountain resort. The place still has lots of greens and barely had houses on it and I could savor any silver lining out there knowing the fact that years from now I might not get to savor the moment provided that it could be full of residential houses by then. Fingers crossed I hope that it won't be the case though. Guess i'll share my quote for the week then : Quote Link to comment

TIA i once got caught in a drizzle that turned into one of the regular downpours we are seeing so much of these days. i had just begun my run so i didn't feel like taking cover yet, but it wasn't as miserable as i thought it would be and since where i run cars pose no particular danger, i finished my 40-minute route. by the time i was done my ponytail was plastered to my nape and my shoes were squishy, but i was elated. the only tricky thing is avoiding clay-like mud and mossy pavement but if you run outdoors in trail shoes these hazards are easily overcome. i run outside in my NB 310 or my asics gel enduro which are both great at gripping terrain in inclement weather. if you're not a fan of the wet look on yourself, just make sure you wear something that won't reveal too much even when you're drenched. as for me, i wear dark clothing with reflective accessories when the skies are gray. like Droidz said, work out in advance where you can change out of your wet clothes. or, even better, run all the way home in the rain, it can feel pretty darned grand.

yrrah123456789 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Joined milo's national marathon, 1st time to run 21k finished in 3hrs something. Personally, no regrets since hindi naman tayo serious runner i just enjoy the raced and i finished it until the end despite the heavy rains, cramp muscles, at paltos na sa mga paa ko. Overall, had a great experienced sinced i first joined the milo. Marathon wayback 2001. . I really liked their advocacy giving a pair of shoes to those students who dont have one thats the main reasons i've joined in. Quote Link to comment

ppdd Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (late) FR on Kellogg's Special K: Run for a Healthy Filipina Category: 16kWeather: Raining with light showerVenue: Venice Piazza, McKinley HillsTime: 2hrs 2mins+ Pros: route was very challenging. Plenty of uphills and downhills. Hydration stations were strategically placed along the route. The marshalls and volunteers were very helpful (lalo na sa pag cheer!). Nice lootbags and freebies, nice weather (even though it was raining)... and Aubrey Miles! Cons: Too much cars near the runners or along the route. i guess more volunteers next time is good Mental Note: Next time, no spa session with a regular thera 5hrs before the actual run!!! (or a day before ng run) Tsk tsk.. dapat talaga 2-3days before ng run eh, wag the day before, much more yung oras lang pagitan.. pero ok lang.. sulit pa din naman. solid experience! (both dun sa session and yung sa run hahaha) http://proactive.ph/wp/wp-content/uploads/_MG_3683.jpg Quote Link to comment
yrrah123456789 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Repost lang natin para sa tatakbo sa REXONA run 2012 Quoted by coach rio Dear Runners, <br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left; ">Due to the heavy rains and floods the past days, we will be postponing the REXONA RUN 2012 event to SEPTEMBER 23, Sunday still at the Mall of Asia grounds. We feel that due to the current calamity, it would be inappropriate to still push through with the event. We have taken into consideration that a lot of the runners may be living in affected areas, and that our route marshals are part of the AFP so th ey will be busy with relief operations. Instead, we will be focusing our efforts on relief operations this weekend, particularly in Marikina. You are very much welcome to participate or help out in any way. More details will be posted soon. Thank you for understanding. Please stay safe and dry! Coach Rio Quote Link to comment
