With rain in the forecast for the whole day, there was really no way to avoid it. I started off around 12:30-12:45pm when it wasn't raining, but at about the 3 mile mark, the sky opened up. I got completely soaked.
But that doesn't mean I can't run. Who is to say that race day won't be in the rain anyway? Some rain is ok - it cools you off and isn't too much of a hindrance. However, after a long enough time, or heavy enough rain, your feet get wet. Then the concern is about the condition of the skin on your feet - skin tears, blisters, etc.
Three miles isn't too much for it to be a concern, though - so I kept going. It got a little interesting having to dodge puddles and sometimes stopping to let cars go by so that I wouldn't get splashed, but this wasn't a run where time was a major factor.
