Hello my dear friend. I think there are a few factors to take into account before answering this... like the season, the temperature of the rain, the intensity of the rain :D If it is a slow rain, i will surely not run, and if it is a fast kind of purring rain, i will probably find some shelter if i am not equipped to deal with it or if i am to far from home.

Hi, of course that in autumn or in spring, when rain is very cold..we can t walk, and stay in the rain, we will catch cold for sure. But in summer rain, us really nice to make few steps....with rain around us...don t you think so?

I am used to getting wet when I am walking, and I never have an umbrella. How fast I move depends on where I am going ("Is it okay to be wet where I am going?") and what I am carrying ("Will this be damaged by water?"). I tend to try not to run, as I am accident prone and will slip on wet concrete or ground. I do, however, try to find the nearest awning and try to walk under it, instead of taking a short cut through the grass or another open area as I usually do.

If its a light rain, I'm just going to walk my way out to a shady place. But if its really pouring, I guess my initial reaction would be to run so as not to get soaked. I just hope I am not wearing my high heels! I've seen in discovery chanel that running under a rain will only get you more soaked that you expect as oppose to when you walk, gathering its of the same distance. Why you might wonder. They say that when you run, the more drops you actually meet than walking. Interesting, huh?

If Im with my special someone or just wanted to feel like funny and childish I'll definitely soak up the moment. Unless I have my cellphone or laptop with me I definitely head for the nearest shelter. Those things are expensive now and you wouldnt want the rain to ruin your things right?

I just keep right on going. I'm outside anyway, so I might as well just keep on going where I am going. I usually don't walk very far at a time, so chances are I'll be inside somewhere dry within about five minutes. No problems there.

Well yes, I will walk. I used to run. But, like you say, either way you get wet anyway. Might as well enjoy it. hahaha!

I generally dont run and i like the rain so i tend to walk or walk at a faster pace. The exception to that is if I'm dressed up for an event like a wedding and need to still look good then i run but try to avoid mud and puddles.

I'll start running in circles ! I love rain, love the raindrops on my face. Love to get wet and love to splash water. I turn into a school kid when it rains. So there you have it, I run but I don't wanna avoid the rain.

if its a little and mild rain, i would run faster to reach home safely...because rain causes cough and cold... in case if its very heavy rain i will find some place to hide myself and after the rain finishes i will start back to my home...

Since I hate carrying umbrella, I am still going to catch the rain no matter what. I don't like to run (despite how heavy the rain is) I did witnessed a couple of events where people fall while running under the rain. It's more to shame than pain. I'll just walk in a faster pace. Besides, no matter what I am still getting wet, it won't make any different.

I find it is pointless to run in the rain as i find that your lower part of your legs get soaked by your feet as you put them down harder to the ground.Not just that i would be worried that i would slip over in the rain and get alot wetter than if i was to walk.Happy mylotting.

For sure that i will not run, because i love rain a lot. I like walk in the rain..of course not autumn rain, because i will catch cold, but in summer i like a lot...and is funny to run as a crazy, when start rainning. Is more better to walk normal.
