And the day started so well.

Sunrise on the surface of one of Saturn's moon. That's what this picture reminds me of. I really wish I could see a sunrise like that here. I am so tired of the cold. It was much warmer last night and today but it's still a little chilly. I want a warm Hawaiian day with tradewinds and everything.

So I got up this morning and jumped on the treadmill. I did 35 minutes at a really good pace. I read in Runner's World that you shouldn't run under 4.5 mph; you just don't burn enough calories and in fact you may burn less. So I walked at around 3.8 and really worked up a sweat. Then I ate well all day. Then I got home :( I ate about 1/4 bag of Cheez-Its and a good sized dinner. Oh yeah, and then a muffin for dessert. Tomorrow is weigh-in day, this may get ugly!!

I have a really clear vision of what I want to look like though (and I think it's completly doable). I tried to link it here but screwed it up completely. But I know what I want now; really know. I have worked the last 2 days on formulating a training schedule. I'm still doing Bob Greene's 12 week makeover but I'm starting serious running.

Well, I've had enough. I think I'm off to bed.......

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
