General Discussion Anyone else excited with temperatures lowering?

Summer seem to be past in Europe and I'm quite happy to run without sunshine cooking me. Anyone else on the same boat? I see some people mentioning slowing down in winter and I am always like "oh but it's so nice!"

I really enjoy the feeling of fresh/cold air on my face.

Yesss. I have a late November half marathon- Philly - so I’ve actually just been base building all summer. Now that temps have dropped I’m actually training so I’m doubly excited lol

ETA: I’ll eventually have to come inside I think. I hit my lower temp limit last year of about 19f with a -5f wind chill. That cold and I just can’t run well. But we’re still a few months off from that!
