Why Summer Is the Perfect Season for Running, As Told By Gifs
Because everything is better when you have more time to enjoy the outdoors.

It’s been a seriously cold spring—just ask anyone who ran the 2018 Boston Marathon. But after many, many months of having to layer up, the warm weather is finally here to stay (we hope). Nothing beats going for a run on the first hot, sunny day of the year. Here are some of the reasons we love running right now.
Because you can easily cool off after your run.
Because getting up for morning runs is a lot easier.
Because postrun hydration is extra refreshing.
Because it’s a great chance for some outdoor cross-training.
Because you can wear your shorts as short as you like!
Because it’s finally warm enough for some postrun ice cream.
Because you can attend awesome track meets.
Because you can get your tan on without even trying.
Because you can run at 7p.m. and it's still light out.
Because running in the rain is actually enjoyable.
