I'm gonna move this over to the Infirmary for you, so more people that would know the answers to your questions will be able to help you. 
Hey there, Lathargic just means tired and sleepy and sorta lifeless - you know how you feel when you're sick with a bad flu - like that - just not wanting to move or do anything.
If she was having fun running around, or maybe a bit scared, she could have been panting (like a dog does to cool itself). That could have caused some moisture near her nose.
Is it just wet when you take her outside and she is breathing fast? Check that the moisture on her nose is clear (not snotty). If it is, you're probably fine and she was just nervous or excited and breathing very fast.
When you take her outside, watch her to see if she's having a good time or if she really looks scared. You don't want to make her too scared - make sure you give her boxes and things to hide in when she's outside so she's not sitting directly in the sun - bunnys get hot very fast - also it will give her a place to hide out if she feels scared of anything since she is in a new environment.

I have a couple of bunnies that get wet watery noses when they are excited, hot and having a lovely time. Apparently a bunny sweats out of it's nose, so that is probably what that is. None of them has ever shown any sign of being ill.
I had a bunny that caught a cold, and died from it, and that was totally different. His nose just ran and ran and dripped everywhere, he didn't last a day with that, despite two vets trips.
How long has this been going on?
Like honeypot says, does it just happen outside?
Also, fast breathing is something my excited bunnies do, also. They seem to breathe quick with anticipation for the excitement to come(i.e. if I am moving themto the run). They are breathing through their nose, but it is very loud and fast, and again, nothing bad has happened to them.
Is the breathing bad all the time? Is your bunny lethargic (using thefab description that honeypot gave)?
Are there any other symptoms at all?
