does anyone else get a sore throat from running outside?
i really stretched myself running yesterday and woke up with a sore throat. this has happened a few times before when i do more than i am used to. has this happened to anyone else? what causes it and what do you do about it? it goes away on its own in about a week but i usually don't/can't run during that time. advice?
