Believe it or not, I used to get this all of the time during competitive swimming. I still get it sometimes during running, usually when I first start sweating especially if the air is dry. I live in the Houston, TX area, so humidity is almost always very high here, so a dry humidity day is unusual and often causes this same feeling.

If you were able to make it through your run, and you did not have any sort of rash, chances are it was just your body sweating and reacting in some sort of way.

I do it all the time when I start sweating. It's always dry here. My legs get really bad when I am on the bike. Nothing you can do about it. It's just annoying as heck.

Are you wearing wicking garments (that haven't been rinsed in fabric softener) during your runs? I used to get itchy running in cotton t-shirts.

This happens to me to. Drives me insane. Almost enough to put me off exercise.
