Running in cooler weather
I am a new runner. I have graduated from Couch 2 5K and now I am doing Bridge to 10K. Today is the first day I have ran since it became cooler and I noticed that my sinus cavity became so dry it burned when I inhale. I had to use Simply Saline when I came into the house. Has anyone experienced this? How do you handle it?
