    @juliet3455 have you or anybody you know run the Red Deer Marathon (Woody's full)? I just realized it is a BQ certified event and early bird reg is over on the 21st so not much time to decide :/ . It's also a hair less than a month out from Banff...why can't I just run all the things?!

    @JessicaMcB I know of 1 guy in our community who has run Red Deer, unfortunately he is away on a extended South Pacific vacation (close to Orphia & emmab0902) with his famdamily and won't be back until early April so I can't ask him any questions. The only concern I can see looking at the course map is there are a few 120-280 degree turns which can really slow you down. I remember people talking about that from Kelowna.

    Swim club tonight so no running to report.

    @snowyne Have you considered immunotherapy? I did it and started to see results within just a few months of the course; in all, I did two years of it, and now I don't use allergy pills at all unless high winds are blowing pollen in from miles away (the immunotherapy I took just treated for local pollens).

    @ko4q Absolutely nothing wrong with treating yourself every now and again!

    @garygse - I've considered it, but haven't followed through. Just laziness on my part! You've prompted me to think about it again, though and I'm glad to hear it's been so effective for you. Now that I've started running, I really need to get my allergies under control. I'm pretty certain my biggest trigger is grass...as soon as it starts to grow in early spring, my head explodes. I take a Zyrtec every day, spring-early fall.
