I miss my old car because it had a sun roof and my newer one doesn't, but I like rolling down the windows and listening to the radio. I'm thankful to live somewhere I can run outside year round, even if it's brutal all summer long. It has been unseasonably warm here lately, though. <br /><br />Like you, my tolerance for cold has changed with running. For one, what I think is cold for just being outside is perfect for a run!

During the week, I'm stuck in the dark and that's a bummer. I have come to the realization though that (despite the fact that I'm not really a Winter person), I really run better in cooler temps. I struggle a lot in heat, humidity, and sun. So maybe Winter likes me even though I generally don't like it? Who knew it could be so complicated :) Glad you're getting out there and enjoying it!Lindsay Loves Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01918403651564107604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-55929703912005721052017-01-20T14:28:19.896-05:002017-01-20T14:28:19.896-05:00The weather's been unusually bad in my area.

But now that I live in Southern California, I can't really complain. We are getting a ton of rain now and it's cold (for here) but overall, it's year-round running. We get super hot and dry here in the summer and fall but it's still runable. I definitely try not to take it for granted.
