sweating legs???

OK. This is kinda wierd but I want to ask...

So I've lost all this weight (about 40 lbs, down to 196) and started running. I've worked my way up to 5 miles since the beginning of the year. I run about 2-3x a week now. I just did my first 8k this past weekend.

Anyway, I've noticed that my legs are sweating. Not just when I run, but later. Like I'll be in bed and trying to sleep or wake up in the night to notice that my legs are slightly sweaty under the blankets. It doesn't do it all the time and usually not during the day when i'm out and about moving around. I seem to notice it when I go to sleep.

Not something that's ever happened before. Started a few weeks ago and I'm not sure what's changed. It's just wierd and ends up with me sleeping with my legs out from under the blanket so they stay cool and don't sweat.

Anyone know anything about this? Is this from the running or something else?

I've had the same problem asong as I can remember. I've actually gotten used to it. Anyway, check the mayor clinic website and Wikipedia for 'nightsweats'. May find some helpful info.
