Apparently not. I tried this today and I have to admit, running helped clear my sinuses, but only for a little bit.
I started feeling poorly a few day ago, but I was hoping it was just horrible allergies. Now I'm on my second day of a full blown head cold and I'm terrified of losing my current level of cardio fitness. I've worked so hard to get to this place, that I don't want to have to take a step backward.
I also haven't run since the Fort Worth Half Marathon last Sunday, so I was feeling a little guilty. I thought a short run would at least help me with the guilt!
As soon as I got past about a half mile, I started feeling great. I could breathe and the headache actually subsided! Weird thing was, I hardly sweat at all today. Usually I'm drenched when I'm done. The good feeling was gone as quickly as it arrived. I started sneezing during the cool down and barely made it back to the locker room before I had to start blowing my nose again.
At least I got to feel well for a little while today!!
