It's just a matter of slow acclimation, over the course of the changing seasons. Each year, I go from running in blizzards during the winter, to 100+ temps in the summer, but just sticking with a regular routine, the generally gradual change of the seasons always gives a gradual acclimation.

On the other hand, yes, hot air is thinner than cold air, but I don't know if this makes a noticeable differnce in how much oxygen each breath of a certain volume is... it might be a lot, might be a little... but, as with MOST things, you do get used to it!
