It's raining.
I gave up running today.
I have to walk my dogs, but I don't want to do it now because it's raining hard.
According to the weather forecast, the rain will be stop temporally around noon, so I'll wait till noon.
(If it will keep raining, I'll wear a raincoat and walk my dogs.)

I don't like rainy days very much, because I have a headache whenever it rains.

Well, I'll vaccum the floor and then go to a post office.

> I gave up running today.

This means that today, you're not going to run anymore. No running tomorrow, or the day after that! You quit!

I don't think your dogs would like walking in the rain very much either...
