We can't officially diagnose you but it does sound like it. I don't see anything wrong with doing this as long as you stay hydrated and dont completely exhaust yourself. Also, before you run, make sure everything you have to do is done, or that you have time set aside to do it later.

If this is all, I really doubt you have OCD. You'd have to show a few more signs, and if there is anything else you do that you think might be OCD you can always offer it up for another opinion. But really, this by itself would not be something to diagnose OCD for alone. OCD often is made up of multiple obsessions and compulsions, and usually if you do not engage in the behaviour you think something bad will happen to you. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's just my best watered-down explanation.

compleatly agree with rith ^

this is not really a sign of OCD but it could be a small hint at it

OCD requires significant distress. If that's your only symptom it's not OCD. You still might want to talk to a mental health professional though.

That sounds more of an eating disorder than OCD. It is a symptom of eating disorders but for you to have that you have to have problems with eating or keeping down food. if you have no problems with this then i don't think there is any problem. OCD has no rational reason behind it. You run to get rid of feeling fat.
