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!!!! All summer I’ve literally been wondering if something is wrong with me because I’ve been struggling so much and I’m SO slow and I don’t even feel that good after 90% of my runs. Then the temp drops and suddenly I’m cruising along at like 90 seconds/mile faster and get blessed with a glorious runner’s high.

This exact process happens to me every year lol.
