Running When It Is Raining

Is running in the rain a good idea? There are times you may be out for a run and you get caught in the rain, not much you can do about it but keep going. If it is a thunder and lightning storm you most likely should get to cover. If it is already raining when it’s time to go for a run, do you go out anyway? I am not one to purposely put myself into that situation. Especially living in South Florida were we can get some pretty dangerous thunderstorms during the warmer months.
