I have to tell you that I absolutely love running outdoors, but there is a difficulty to working out outside in the summertime. I have found that the best solution is to go at a crazy early hour in the morning when it is still cool outside. What I have started doing is listening to Slacker radio on my iPhone, which gives you a fun and free compilation of a bunch of different songs based on genre.
I have to listen to really upbeat music to get myself motivated to run at the early hour of 6:30 AM, but I promise you that it is completely worth it. The interesting benefit to using Slacker radio on my iPhone is that it lets you customize your radio settings to your preference, so you can choose stations with music that is older, newer, or lesser well known. This is fun if you are listening to a station over and over again and getting tired of it. You can mix it up so that it starts to give you different musical selections, which is perfect to keep it fresh when you are trying to stay motivated to work out. Music is my savior when working out in the summertime!
