If you ran outside today in DC, why?

It is sad if you think those are just two option. There are plenty of people who don't run and don't take ANY meds.

And also plenty who do both. Like me.

I'm not willing to venture out in below freezing temperatures. But, I think nothing of running in 95+ degrees. Everyone is used to what they are used to. It's okay. Those cold weather runners won't hurt you.

I used to live in Russia and once attempted running at -36 degrees Celsius. It hardly counted as a "run" and if anything was an experiment, but generally I've found that running at subzero or -20C or lower absolutely requires a face mask, and there's only so much of a workout you can do with that.
In DC I'll run outdoors as long as it's not slippery. Ice is more of the problem than the raw temperature.

That said, I'm weaksauce in the heat and especially humidity. My workouts really start to drop off above 80 degrees F. 90+ with humidity is absolute hell for me and I end up slacking or not even bothering with it. The swampy summer air just feels toxic. Give me the winter anytime.

Me too; much more miserable than running in (dry) 10 degree F - but might have been better if I'd dressed more warmly. Wet hands and feet are bad.
