Sweating like crazy

I started running two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I logged 4 miles. Last week I logged 9 miles. Today I am sweating like crazy just sitting at my desk. Is this the effect of running?

    Probably not. Are you sick? Running should only make you sweat when you are actually running.

    I find that I feel much warmer when I am working out regularly.

    I sweat for a couple hours after I work really hard - I drink a TON of water and I find that makes a big difference in how much I sweat. It helps if you can drink really cold water after...or at least it did for me.

    idk if it's normal
    however, when i was excessively sweating, i would have a fan blow on me for at least 20 min and then take a cold shower.
    as i've gotten fitter, i just need the fan-or maybe since it's colder, i don't get as warm?
