flu like symptoms after work out

Options
hello all. I walk primarily as working out goes. When I can be outside I walk 3-4 miles a day. On bad weather days I walk to leslie Sansone dvd . I find when I am outside walking I have flu like symptoms after for the rest of the day and into the next. I can't figure out why I feel this way. Its horrible. Any ideas why this is happening?

    Could it be an allergy thing - like hayfever? I know it's January but you might be somewhere spring-like!

    I don't mean to sound obtuse, but what are your symptoms? Flu symptoms can vary.
    Have you checked your body temperature?

    Are you on any medications?

    If you only get the symptoms when you walk outside it is most likely allergies. Look up the allergy report for your area and see if any particular allergen has been high lately. If you're in Texas there is a good chance mountain cedar is kicking your *kitten* as it has been off the charts recently. If the symptoms occur both inside and outside its a little more puzzling but could still be allergies or some sort of respiratory infection
