Running nose dried up after jogging, I am embarrassed!?

Question

Tell me this is normal because I am mortified. This morning I ran a nice 10K event. It was awesome and I did great. The weather was freaking cold. My nose was running with me. I just kept sniffling while I was running. When the race ended, I was chatting with my friends that I don't know very well but they are cool people. One I knew from ages ago, the others I had just met the day before. They are master runners. So I get in my car and look in my rearview mirror and my sniffles were dried around my nostrils! I am 100% certain they saw and I am so embarrassed. No one said anything but I am still quite embarrassed. Please tell me I am not totally gross. I am so mortified.

I get running noses all the time when I run, regardless of the weather. I've been guilty of your situation many times before. Don't worry, it is slightly embarrassing at the time, but no one is really judging you and they forget it as soon as you walk away. What I try to do now is either carry a kleenex with me if I have a pocket, or otherwise find a napkin or kleenex as soon as I'm done running. That way I can wipe my nose as soon as I'm done and hopefully avoid the situation in the future.

You are not totally gross! :)
If i was talking to someone after running a 10k, I would totally understand seeing little sniffle marks--lol. I wouldn't say anything either, I'd feel to rude. Besides it wouldnt bug me at all (if i was a friend talking to you), it was probably barely noticeable :)
