I have recently begun running in the AM's in order to beat the heat as well as to decrease the excuses for not running. However, I have noticed that after the run, throughout the morning I am left with the nagging feeling of a sarting chest cold. I feel a little yucky, but it seems to go away after the late morning. No coughing, just that yucky feeling you get (or at least I get) that implies an impending cold. Okay, so I know the obvious, "maybe I'm getting a cold", but this has been an issue even when I was running in the afternoons, it just didnt seem as noticable. Any ideas out there? Am I turning into a hypochondirac?

	If you're not sleeping enough, or stressed out, or overtraining, or chronically dehydrated, your immune system may not be 100%, and you can be chronically slightly sick. I often feel that running is like an early warning system for my health. If anything is starting to go wrong, I notice it first in how I feel during and after runs. Usually just getting extra sleep and fluids, and sticking to healthy food for a couple days clears up a general feeling of malaise before it turns into a real cold.

	I'm been having the same issues, anonymous running forum girl. How confusing!

	I work in Cambridge now, but used to live there too. Could it be allergy related? Just guessing.

	Ooo, a coincidence indeed Me thinks we have been found out PWL. Perhaps it is allergies (and all this darn humidity), as I'm aging I'm noticing less and less resistance to these things. Booo to getting older!

	It's been a couple years, but I used to have similar issues in the summer if I ran faster than I should have. I usually just chalked it up to allergies/air pollution.

It's like the New York City of tiny rural New England towns. We've gotta have like 12, maybe 15 people per square mile.
