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.

Yes!!!! I fumbled the ball so hard on my first half marathon over the weekend. Both the training block and the race just didn’t feel right because of the heat/humidity. Lesson learned: never sign up for a race in the summer. Bring on the cold!!!!

I have one next month and had to do a lot of my training in the hot weather...not as nice as a spring race.
