I always loved to run in the rain (you better do, when you live in Belgium...)
But a few days ago, I found an email in my mailbox (e-letter from howtorunbarefoot.com), stating:
How true is this?
I might imagine this could happen when you're running for hours through a wet meadow, but on paths and/or roads?
I'm only a few weeks into my transition to barefoot running, and - it's difficult to believe - I haven't had a single run in the rain since. But fall comes closer, and so are the rainy days...

Don't go running in the rain.
Have you ever gotten "dishpan hands?" You know, you soak your hands too much and
they become soft and wrinkly, the skin ready to just peel off?
Well, as you can imagine running barefoot in the rain (or just on wet roads) can do the
same thing to your feet - with disastrous results.
Avoid running when it's wet, or wear minimalist running shoes instead.
