Over the new few posts I will be proving that I have been getting out in all weathers! I am finding that bad weather walks are good for my mind, and there is even scientific evidence to prove that, check this article out.

I always loved walking in the rain as a kid. Unfortunately, we don’t get much rain here but when we do, I’m going to get out there! Thanks for the article Becky. 😊

What an interesting article. Proves what dogs know — just keep walking. I must admit that I often outwait the rain as it rarely rains here for more than 30 mins. Glad you manage to just keep moving even in the kind of rain that England has. Bernie

Love the article – although we are not prone to cold & early dark in Singapore, I do remember many rainy runs when we spent several Decembers in London (one of our favourite ways to spend Christmas incidentally). We actually love the grey skies and the cold and the rain.

Great article, Becky. I must admit that I enjoy walking in winter much more than walking in summer although it’s the heat that drives my preference. I am learning to get up earlier than usual to get out and about before it gets hot and when the season changes, I’ll remember to stop wimping out and go walking early – when it’s still ‘cold’ ❄️🤣

I prefer winter walks too, and am impressed by your new early morning approach. I am though giggling at your cold!!!

Yeah, it doesn’t get that cold here. We’re on the cusp of saying goodbye to Spring and yesterday it was 16C when I left the house just after sunrise – beautiful 🥰 – and I’m lapping this up while it lasts because it won’t be long before our overnight minimum temp will be a mere 25C or so.

I used to walk in snowy, cold weather all the time in Illinois and loved it. 🙂 We rarely have a true rainy day here, so I enjoyed the photo of yours. I’m rather late to the walking party but here’s my entry: https://sustainabilitea.wordpress.com/2022/11/23/what-i-saw-while-walkingquintessential-autumn/

Good on you for continuing to walk in the rain. I bet it does feel exciting and refreshing. I love being out in stormy weather, especially the wind.
Here is my entry for the day.

I can recall running around a playground on windy days with arms out wide, maybe I should try doing the same as an adult!

Good for you! I tend to avoid walking on rainy days. I will have to change my thinking. 😊

Oh, you are so brave! Keep it up, if you can. Our weather so far has been not so bad for November, we had a few rainy days , but also nice and sunny ones.
This is mine from one of my forest walks near our home:

Beautiful walkway, but maybe a bit muddy after the rain. I don´t mind walking in the rain.

Your photo does look a tad gloomy! Good for you getting out and about in it. I liked the article you linked to. Not sure about the walking backwards though! Here’s mine today: https://grahamsisland.com/2022/11/23/halemaumau-trail-and-crater/
