Running in the Rain?

So I'm doing C25K and I'm on the end of week four and rain is expected for most of next week. I know if I miss a week, I won't come back. So I'm going to suck it up and run in the rain. What do I need? I have a Bob Duallie, and I'm thinking of investing in the rain cover. Anyone have experience with that? Do I need waterproof socks? Do I just dress like I normally do?

    I usually just wear my old shoes so my current ones stay dry/in  good shape.

    Definitely get a cover:  you're moving (and thus, warmer), but DD isn't, and she'll get wet and cold!

    It depends on how hard the rain is coming down and what the temp is. It's snowing up here, but if it's a warm rain where you are, that would be okay! I just wear a waterproof coat and hat. Shoes I don't mind getting nasty and that's about it!

    All I would add to my normal stuff (based on air temperature) would be a brimmed hat. You're gonna get wet with sweat, what's a few raindrops? I'd also wear my regular shoes. You're kidding yourself if you think your feet won't sweat (i.e. get wet) during a run. :) Good luck and have fun!
