Running with allergies

Options
I finished week two today! So far so good. I am going to start week three tomorrow. The mountain cedar is extremely high in south Texas right now so my allergies are killing me. I have been taking my meds and only going out to workout, no hanging outside other than that. Anyone else with outdoor allergies?

    I'm allergic to every seasonal change in Georgia :) I have a nasal spray + Claritin.

    I go out in the spring, and running actually helps clear my sinuses. I usually have to take Singulair, Chlortrimetron (sp?), and Allegra to keep them under control. And shower the moment I get back inside.

    It's funny how all my former excuses disappeared over the course of the 5k program. I think running has made my allergies a little better :)
