Going out right now in a down pour, have you had good running during a heavy rain?? It rained last night as well with high winds. Seems like we will be covered in rain all day.


Your opinions!!??

harner even a chicken knows to stay out of the rain.

My cousins and me went out when it was pouring. Dogs ran good and jumped a bunch of bunnies,but it was miserable.

being in construction you only get off when the weather is miserable and usually raining. So I run a lot in the rain throw a rain suit on and away you go. The dogs definitly don't mind and we always seem to get rabbits up. Go get em!!

casey lightning and phat boy pounded this moring in the rain.

Grabbed 2 dogs after church,4hours of pounding started rainIng I stayed. Got 2 8month old pups that didn't seem to mind at all. Makes jimbo smile, even if I am soaking wet.

So does that make you a puss then Art??

Just got home from running in the very windy, slight rain weather!! 3 hrs later and 10+ miles on the garmin not to bad of running!!

Would love to say that the running was non stop pounding with no checks but anyone that KNOWS dogs KNOWS you aint running 3 hrs with no checks!!!

Dogs did a nice job though and im happy!!

I work outside so i run in the rain whenever i am off. I have olso been known to run during a thunderstorm. The dogs pound em. Im not very smart though.

Some of the best running I have had was when hurricane Irene went up the east coast. Heavy downpour and lots of rabbits. I called Steve Shipman and he thought I had lost my mind.

Casey,

I ran dogs that same day your talking about & I had headeds up running for like 3 hours.

Great running!

Ive always had good luck in the rain.

By the time I got to the spot it had stopped raining and the winds picked up. They geared down and ran one back to its hole after and hour and fifteen minutes.... Not bad for dogs who haven't reached two years yet..
