Dear Ben,

Sounds like, just like myself, you are just quite sensitive to 
changes in temperature. I would reccommend you to warm up your 
showers just enough for them to stop causing your nose to run. After 
a short while, once you feel that your body has adjusted to that 
temperature, start *gradually* lowering it (not throughout one 
shower, but from day to day) until you achieve an appropriate cold 
temperature.
It is always better to start lifting weights with light objects and 
slowly work up to heavy ones than to immediately start with heavy 
ones - from personal experience (not with weight lifting :), the 
second way is a lot slower, and the results are for more fragile.

Good luck!
Daniel
