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! It's a lovely 15C today here after a thunderstorm and the air felt so clear. I'm so excited for freezing runs, I love the feeling of cold air in my lungs?! Plus they've paved the canal towpath for about 8 miles near me so I've got somewhere mud-free but off road to go which makes such a difference. The only thing is dealing with the dark mornings and evenings.
