I'm not going to sugar coat this - it's going to be rainy AF.  Misery loves company, right? 😉  This will actually be good practice for working out your clothing/gear for inclement weather.  It will also be good for running when the conditions are uncomfortable.  It's not always going to be easy out there but that is something you can practice: building your tolerance for less than ideal conditions.
