No not those lol seriously. ..does any one suffer from a bright red face when exercising? I always look bright red after about 10 minutes running. I feel fine. ..I just wondered if anyone else has it. ....

    I do. I look ridiculously sunburned after I run (the color, not an actual sunburn) totally not like a glowy Nike commercial...

    I've come to embrace looking like death when I run.
    For my upcimg Turkey Trot I got a tank top that reads:
    "Everything hurts and I'm dying"

    people will believe it by the look in y face :/

    Yes! I'm fair skinned so I'm almost puce by the time I finish a run. I swear people stare at me running because they're afraid I'm about to collapse lol

    Yes!!! It's horrible, and is the main reason I try not to do much cardio before I head to work. No amount of cold water/makeup on my face helps, and I stay those varying shades of red/pink for a couple hours!
