Karen, could it be related to allergies? My ex was sick all the time and finally went to an allergist, who said that his constant allergy (to dust, pollen, etc) were backing up his sinuses, thus providing a "ground" for other ickiness to grow.
Once he went on a once-daily Allegra (or Claritin is another option), plus a Flonase-type thing, he got sick a LOT less often.
Kelly, have you ever seen the British show Coupling? It's a fav... anyhow, there's an ep where the one couple both have two TV personalities on their list (reporters? Not being British, we didn't get the reference). Anyhow, while they are in the middle of "relations", it cuts over to the two meeting at a vending machine and being all-of-a-sudden attracted to each other. Funny as heck, and
appropriate to your brackets.
Life continues on here. Recovering from the craziness that was November. Back in training again starting today with a nice 4-miler with a friend. I am still not sure if I am going to do the full in Feb yet, but I will try to at least get up past 20 before deciding.
