My Running Window is Narrowing

I finally showed up for a Woodlands Fit Saturday morning run. I was teased Saturday morning about being a closeted warm weather loving runner because I hadn't shown up the prior 2 Saturday mornings opting instead to run later in the day when the temperatures were a little warmer. Well Saturday definetely proved that I'm not a warm weather runner. My shoes were soaked after running 21 miles in 70 degree 90 percent humidity weather. As I was also reminded that I don't run in the dark, I guess it has to be daylight between 55 and 65 degrees for me to run. I also don't like treadmills so I wonder how many days of the year I can run with all these limits???
I need to run 30 miles this week to average 25 miles per week for the year. Not bad considering my weekly mileage for the first half of the year with the achilles issues. 2006 was the first year that I tracked my mileage and I averaged 22 miles per week in 2006 and 23 in 2007. Pretty consistent the past 3 years I'd say.
