I suppose I have been lucky in the respiratory department until yesterday. I was having a hard time running the Melbourne Causeway. My throat was itchy, chest a little tight couldn't seem to really get going. That afternoon the boys and I drove down to "Skim City" near the beach to check out the skim boards and Indo boards. I couldn't even stand outside the shop without coughing! Then it dawned on me..."Red Tide". I had always heard about it and the nagging respiratory symptoms that accompany it, but we haven't had it in the area since we moved here in 2003. What a pain...Good excuse to get the house cleaned and ready for the Christmas decorating.
Curt and 3 of his friends from church road tripped to Atlanta for the SEC Championship this weekend. He had a great time! He really needed to get out and have a Mancation...he never does that. He may become a convert---SEC convert to make it clear :) The boys and I kept busy with YO-Yo Club and saw the movie "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium". It was GREAT! I was never really fond of Sock Monkeys until now!! I highly recommend it.

dana, tell me more about your running routine. i declared 2 weeks ago that i was going to do a full marathon and now i need some motivation after we got our first of the big snows.
red tide, heard of it, but not sure what it is. what makes it red?
Red tide--an over bloom of algae. The water takes on a brownish red tone if the bloom is large. If large enough it becomes airborne and causes respiratory/allergic symptoms! Yuck! I emailed you re: my running "routine". You rock with planning that marathon chick!!
