Exercise-induced petechiae?

It is particularly bad when I am running, and of course I've just stepped up my walking to jogging. Grrrrr. I have had blood work done, and my numbers are good. I ONLY have this happen when I am working out. A google search tells me that it is not that uncommon, but it still freaks me out :(. Does anyone else get this?

    I don't get that (I had to look it up) but I do get bruises that are only through exercise, not banging into things. Similar, probably, but not as colorful as what I saw.

    Where are you getting the petechiae? If it's in your eyes, are you perhaps holding your breath while running? Consult your MD- not webMD!

    I get little dots here and there on my legs. I have consulted my dr (and my MIL, who is also a dr) and have had normal blood work come back. My MIL says that what I get is more of a faux petechiae. Once again, I only have this happen when I am really exercising. I was just wondering if there are others out there that have the same thing occur.
