Had a very misty/drizzly/foggy 52ºF/11ºC cool (San Fransisco like) 6.5 mile run. After looking at BenAigen pics it seems it was warmer.

Did a 7.5 miler this morning. Was misty, cloudy and damp.

That bridge is beautiful! My wife and I are hoping to get over there late summer 2018 for a motorcycle tour. Keep the photos coming, it's making me look more forward to the trip :)

You will have to use this bridge instead - the old bridge is closed except for pedestrians/tourists. It's a beautiful old bridge I remember crossing it on a bus when I was a child and it was very tight cornering due to the cliff face.

Finished a shoulder workout and time for a run. Hate to start in the rain but luckily it has slowed to a drizzle (for now).

Bob Callan phase IIA trailhead on Interstate North Parkway.

New 8’ sidewalks and retaining wall on Interstate North Parkway. Funny the drizzle stopped so I decided to take a pic. No sooner did I get my iPhone back in the baggy did a strong gust of wind and a hard rain start. Rained for the rest of the run.

I don't wear anything different and just run in the rain the same as if not raining. I have always carried my iPhone in a 'fanny' pack and I keep a plastic baggy in it (with a $10, paper towel and toilette in it). I just put my iPhone (and car fob) in the baggy if it starts to rain.

Here is an old pic.

@matrix07 - agree with Julian on this, just wear your normal kit. No need to over think this, if it rains we get wet, but we all wear the best waterproof kit on the market - our skin:):)
