Workout Embarrassment

Does anybody out there have an issue w/ working out and then turning a deep reddish-purple color? I will run on the treadmill for maybe 3 miles and I end up looking like some sort of turnip.  I am not sure if this is a breathing issue, out of shape, or a combination. I keep my heart rate in check, I'm pushing HARD on 40, and am in overall good health (5'4", 120-125).  What's the deal w/ the color of my face after a strenuous workout?
