Everyone knows that water melts witches, therefore, running in the rain is nearly stress-free since there’s little chance a hex will be put on you. If you’re a witch, not even the best rain gear is 100% effective, so it’s best to stay inside and avoid any possibility of being melted.

By the way, witches, putting hexes on people is extremely rude. If you’re out running and see a group of mortals doing the same, please refrain from working your black magic. Being considerate of others is something the witch community really needs to embrace.

The five tips follow this photo of a runner enjoying a rainy run thanks to tip #2.

Tip #1 – Place these tips in a plastic sleeve so they won’t get soaked in case you need to refer to them mid-run.

Tip #2 – Before going for a run, read the five tips over and over until memorized. It’s inconvenient to repeatedly stop to read them during your run.

Tip #3 – Singing “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head” is appropriate while running, but not in the shower afterward. The shower stream strikes the shoulders and upper back, not your head.

Tip #4 – Waterproof shoes are required to run through puddles. Puddle splashing with non-waterproof shoes is not recommended. Stopping to play and jump in puddles is for free-spirited, unicorn-believing runners only.

Tip #5 – The most convenient way to handle soaked running clothes is to pile them in the corner and wear when a hot, sunny day comes around. They’ll keep you cool and refreshed until completely drying out just as you finish your run.
