Not yet, I will get round to doing it. I was just wondering if it's not something that has happened to others because of running - so I won't go to the doctor for something that is more running related than health related. I was checked out for general physical fitness earlier this spring and nothing seemed to be wrong then.

I'm just losing more hair while that usual when washing it or combing it. And no, no patches or visible thinning. I'm 41, overweight, running 10 - 15k/week and losing weight slowly. I am, though, very new to running. For the first 40 yrs of my life, I thought running was something I would never be able to do - not even to catch a bus. And I don't drink coffee - so I get sleepy during the day, especially after a longer run (over 5k). Writing this I realised that my question sounded more alarming than it was intended to be - but still appreciate the feedback.
