Inspiration....

-
Needed, badly!!! Actually, Renee is really a great inspiration to me. She is so motivated and has some incredible insights and it's a real pleasure to read her every morning.

Yesterday morning I got up and went for a bike ride and it felt great. Last night though I was so exhausted I just couldn't do my weight workout. This morning I was supposed to run but it was raining so hard I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. But tonight I will do something. I think I may walk on the treadmill while I watch "Hide and Seek." Honestly I'm still a little leary about running on my ankle. It still hurts 10 days after I twisted it. So while I was showering this morning I decided I'm just going to walk for a couple of days. I'll walk and get the ankle back to full function and then I can start running when I feel ready. I really think I was trying to push myself too hard too fast and that resulted in my not doing anything. Okay, that ends right here right now. I will walk on the treadmill after we walk the dogs tonight.

Food however has been wonderful. I haven't had candy in 10 days. I have had ice cream (2 x) and an ice pop last night. Otherwise, it's been whole, healthy foods. So even in spite of my lack of exercise I feel great because I've been eating really, really well.

Well, we are really slammed at work and I probably should get to it. I don't want to be here late again tonight.

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.
