The weather is gorgeous and I'm walking an extremely long route home just to enjoy being one of the few people out this early on a Saturday morning. It's finally, FINALLY feeling like spring! Can't wait for those balmy summer mornings.

I didn't feel as energetic this morning and could feel it during the running portions. But I am proud of finishing.

Happy running, everyone :)

Are you in New Zealand?, today 21 September marks the first ".official" day of Spring, in Europe and North America its the Autumn Equinox

I'm from Australia. We don't use equinox/solstice for seasons; our seasons are determined according to the calendar. Summer starts 1 December, Autumn starts 1 March, Winter starts 1 June and Spring starts 1 September.

It's been a chilly start to Spring but the weather is finally beginning to get warmer!

That's nice to know that's it is getting warmer, but hopefully it doesn't go too hot, no temperature above 38C/100F is welcomed

Agreed! My favourite temperature is between 23-30°C but I don't mind it warmer if it means I can go to the beach :)

The summers where I live often do go above 30°C, though.

👏🎈✅👍 well done! It’s the difficult runs we finish, that teach and help us the most! Start week start 2 a little slower & you will be fine! Nothing like Spring morning air!
