That's the spirit!

early morning, 35-55, outdoors but paved. i love fall running on the bike path here. timing so i can see the sunrise is perfect, even if it's hard to pry myself out of bed some days.

I'm spoiled in CO with 300 days of sunshine, so I get pretty used to that! I'd say between 40 and 60 degrees and sunny... if the sun isn't out, then closer to 50 to 60 degrees!

The Marin headlands! One of the most beautiful places on the planet and the running is brutal (for all my masochistic brethren/sistren out there)...
Steep hills and the temperature can fluctuate 30 degrees in the summer.

When I lived in SF, I'd mountain bike up in Marin - brutal fire roads to ride up!

I'm into sidewalks and extremely well curated (and mostly flat) trails because I am clumsy and tend to roll ankles when I'm not paying attention.

A crisp fall day, 45-55 degrees, is my favorite. I did a relay this October in a weird WA heat wave (77*) with tons of smoke (AQI 180) and I was miserableeeeeee.

I've been back in Tucson for four years and still am not acclimated to the heat. I gained about 15 seconds on my pace once the temps dropped below 70 degrees. Having spent nearly a decade running in Sonoma County, I really like 50 degrees in horizontal rain!

Not a lot of experience running in the winter because I live in Florida, but definitely enjoy the cooler cold temps. As far as location I love running near water and again being in Florida lots of opportunities.

I’m in Florida too and just started running last summer. I was like “what do I wear on Christmas Day and it was 35°?” Love it though!!
