More runs - and sneezing!

I ran yesterday and then had a crazy sneezing and nose blowing attack. Lasted until I went to bed. Woke up doing better this morning and continuing to get better throughout the day. I ran this afternoon and it didn't trigger another attack. Interestingly, I ate something with dairy in it at lunch yesterday. Today I read that exercise induced allergies don't have to have an underlying allergy, but they often do. So I'm going to go hard off the dairy again and see if I stop having these attacks. Of course, it could be an allergy to something in the air, but it has happened in Reno, Wisconsin (all inside running), and La Mesa. So kinda seems more likely that I'm doing something that is bothering me and then exercise is causing a full blown allergic reaction. We shall see, though! Today I started my gym investigations again. I visited one gym that is so so nice. It's big, it has lots of equipment, sauna, steam room, whirlpool, classes. But it's $75 / month! If I lived really close to it, I might figure out some way to justify it but 75 is just a real hard stop for me! I drove by another gym, too far away. Have one more to check out. Not sure what I'm going to do!
