I get hives when I run in cold weather?
What is up with this? I really want to start jogging (and work up to full running) for the betterment of my health. I just got back from a jog actually. It's cool and drizzling a bit. Unfortunately about 10 minutes in, I broke out in horrible, horrible, excruciating hives. The itching abated a bit when I slowed to a brisk walk, but every time I tried to jog again, the itching was back in seconds, with vengeance!
I was so miserable, and not from the jogging! It was everything I could do not to rip off my pants and start scratching violently in public.
I really don't want to have to stop, or pay a bunch of money for a gym membership. Help me!
Oh, I don't know if this is important, but I was wearing yoga pants and a heavy sweater. Only my lower body was itchy (butt to feet) and my body didn't feel all that hot. I was sweating a bit but not overheated.

there's a condition called exertion induced hives which seems to come about when you are pushing your limit. you could back off a bit and see if that helps, or, you could take an antihistamine before you run.
this condition comes and goes, maybe as you get fitter or increase your workout, so you probably won't have to worry about it forever.
