Yes, I run outside when it rains, unless it's pouring. I don't generally wear anything special for it; I dress more for the air temperature, though I might wear a windbreaker if it's raining more than a light drizzle. Over the years I have collected a fair amount of technical clothing--made of synthetic fabrics designed to stay comfortable and to still insulate when they get damp or even wet, so I don't need actual rain gear (and I don't really like running if it's raining hard enough for that anyway). I have pieces that layer (or not) to cover almost any temperature, from mid-summer to dead-of-a-Vermont-winter. Oh, but in the rain I will sometimes also wear a cap with a baseball-style brim, to keep the rain out of my eyes.
