    Really carolann? Is they going to drive to their run?
    Yes, I know what you mean. Rain soothes me and relaxes me, I love that it surrounds me aswell (perhaps like the cocooning idea?). I'm not a sunny-day person, but more of a warm-light rain-day-in-tropics person. Love it.

    • No, sorry, duh. Not clear.

      When I bike or run I take my car to the spot I want to be and go from there. There are several secluded country trails that I visit that are safe and allow me to be all by myself in the rain or shine.

      In the city, even if it's pouring, there are tons or people.

      So to be alone you have to go the distance first.

  • Why don't you just take your car?

    Haha I thought that I was weird for doing that :) I like running/walking when it's raining. Most people try to stay out of the rain, so it's more peaceful and I feel safer somehow. I'd never jog with other people because I'd feel stupid too. However, I don't mind jogging with my brother, probably because I feel more comfortable around him.

    I'd sooner walk in the rain than in the sun. You kind of feel surrounded by it and cocooned in a way. I do my best thinking when walking in the rain.

    I don't run, but if I hate to I'd probably choose to do it in light rain. I love rain though.
    If no one will run with you you could try running around communities or parks or beaches where people tend to be, then at least you'll have some around.
