I cannot handle this anymore. I get so fucking cranky from the heat and humidity that my therapist was willing to say I have adjustment disorder over the season.

84 here, feels like 86. I may suck it up and do a couple treadmill runs. I really can't breathe in this stuff.
Oh, and I'm going to a soccer game tomorrow night where it will probably be close to 90* at game time (8pm). And at least 20,000 people packed into the stadium. Yay.
Hot and humid here in MI, too. DH said he'd rather run in TX (where he was last week) than suffer here. It was 90* with 90% humidity and 0mph breeze at 6pm on his run.
No. Don't say that. I will invite all of you here for the summer, you would never leave During the summer! Winter is another can of worms though. I would leave here in a heartbeat during the winter.

Ohhhh I could handle that. Maybe we could get a snow bird program of sorts going. We are going to Alaska in August and folks are asking me if I am prepared for the weather. My answer is YES, YES, YES, I'm ready to go now.

I ended up running this morning. 4 slow miles. It could've been worse, but the fact that it was only 4 miles helped. I'm supposed to run twice as far tomorrow, and the weather will be just as bad. Blech.
Oh, and I know we've talked about people wearing seasonably inappropriate weather during workouts, but today I saw a woman wearing long pants and a fleece jacket! WTF. I decided she must have a metabolic disorder, because there's no other reasonable explanation. How was she not dying from heat stroke??

I get so uncomfortable when I see someone in too many layers in the heat. It's as if I get hotter via empathy?
I don't know if I would go that far! I definitely prefer fall running, but, for the non-running aspects of my life, summer is way better!
Ugh, not this weather. This weather isn't good for just plain existing.
The upstairs of my house is OK at night, but it's really warm during the day, which makes accomplishing anything up there impossible. We still need to finish attacking the giant, scary weed, and I can't even stand the thought of doing yard work. I basically need a shower after walking to the metro station. I have a constant low-level headache from dehydration. I'm just fucking cranky and grumpy. Poor Fatty is TOTES MIZ in this, and even Velociraptor is kind of lethargic.
All the things that sound like they would be fun to do - ride bikes around the neighborhood, have a picnic, go to an outdoor concert - it's too hot to do any of them. I just want to wake up and have it be October.
Honestly, I cannot give you hot weather H&Fers enough credit. We have maybe 2-3 months where temps might be in the 80s and that is it. Yesterday, we ran at 6:30pm, it was still 88 degrees and in our infinite wisdom, decided on a route that was in the direct sunlight Let's just say we ended up running about 1.5 miles and walking 2 miles. I thought my running partner was going to have heat stroke. Bad idea! You ladies who do this for months at a time, with hotter temps, are rock stars! Seriously! Give me 35 degrees any day.
Pretty soon this discussion is going to turn into: damn it, it's 23 degrees and icy outside, give me summer!!!
That sounds amazing.
H and I lingered in the dairy case at Costco last week. It was SO COLD, and it was AMAZING.
There are two things I dislike about winter: the lack of baseball and the difficulty with letting curly hair air dry. The second is far less of a problem in D.C., as it rarely gets cold enough that damp hair will freeze or that a hat is an absolute necessity.
October truly is the perfect month - the weather, the food, the sports. It's my happy place.

you know that week in January in WI when it is like -30 WC and your tear ducts freeze everytime you go outside and everyone is miserable and they cancel school because it is straight dangerous for children to be outside and everyone just tries to stay inside as much as possible? this is the corollary to that week.
I love summer and I love DC but I'm pretty much hating everything and everyone right now. it will get better. august isn't going to be any kind of picnic, it will still be humid, but it's also probably not going to be pushing 100 during august.

I complain, but I still prefer summer to winter. For one thing, there's more daylight. I can run outside at 6 am and knock out some respectable mileage before work. In the winter, when the sun doesn't come up until 7:30 am, and it starts to go down at 4:30 pm, there's no time to do anything outdoors.
Also, in the winter, I do warm up when I run, but it only lasts for about an hour. Then I get cold again, and I never warm back up. So long runs during the winter are pretty painful for me. I hate being cold though. I don't like being hot, but being cold is worse for me.
I agree that October is basically perfect. Even November is pretty great for running, minus the short daylight hours.

Ah, I am not bothered by darkness. Probably even prefer it since I am self-conscious about how I look.
I may actually enjoy November here more than October since I am thinking of WI October. Plus, November doesn't have playoff baseball once the WS ends. October sees it for the WHOLE MONTH! It's heaven.
But November have Veterans Day AND Thanksgiving. Two holidays from work is pretty awesome, too!
Now that its hot, I am actually finding that i prefer winter running. Snow doesn't bother me at all. Cold wind, yes, I could do without that. But I do hate that it is dark by 5:30, granted I wear a headlamp and run anyway, but I definitely prefer running in the daylight.
