Galactic acid, I have a similar problem being slightly asthmatic myself.  I've not tried covering my mouth - does it work?

Nothing wrong with a bit of furtiveness

Thanks all

Been looking on the US RW forums and found this explanation:

Blood flow changes to keep you warmer (more to the surface if you are a little cold, switching to mostly to the core if you get REALLY cold). Muscles tighten up, and if it is cold enough you do not produce energy as quickly.

Seems feasible...any scientists out there who care to elaborate/ comment?

Not sure, cougie...we've been doing mid-late afternoons and the light has just been wonderful (we're very lucky in that we have the most fantastic scenery where we live), but I suppose the general reduction in daylight hours and intensity may be having an effect on our brains.....

I wouldn't say I overdressed - the jacket is one of those uberlight high-viz windstopper thingies...

I do love running in the winter too, don't get me wrong, but the last couple of runs have been really hard work.  Maybe I need some of Cake's sweeties
