I have had the strangest thing happen. I have been running about 10-15 miles a week for about a 3 months now. I have always hated running, but now seem to long for it! (Weird...I know!) I actually find it really relaxing. Well, several times after my longer runs, I start sneezing...really sneezing. My eyes start watering, and my nose starts running...really running...I mean Boston Marathon pace running! This usually lasts anywhere from 2-36 hours. Very strange. Yesterday morning it happened again. It was like an instant cold! Today....gone. I decided to google it last night, and found that, no, I am not allergic to exercise...it's something that a lot of people have. Over 50,000 items popped up.
I did find some theories that it has to do with your body temperature, air temperature, having too much histamine, and getting rid of toxins. Basically it boils down to exercise-induced allergies, and they don't know what causes or cures it. So strange!
Have you ever heard of this before?
Luckily, it does not happen every time I run. But it's not going to keep me down! :)

I dont sneeze but since I was about 13, every time I would walk briskly or run, I get the urge to itch my outer and inner thighs as well as my lower back (right above my bum!) I have no clue why but it is super annoying and totally makes me not want to exercise!!
