exercise and immunity

Wisdom on the street has always been that distance running suppresses your immunity. I figure extra long runs (more than 10 miles) and marathon training aren't all that good for you, unless of course you're an office worker who desperately needs a reason to exercise, in which case any reason to move is probably a plus.

We have a "garden" where I work. It's probably about half an acre planted with trees, and it's beautiful now in the fall. It's nice. Kent is not the most scenic spot in the world (other than views of the mountain) so the garden makes the area seem more pleasant.
