A really good week.

First, that previous post is NOT a political statement. I try not to get political here as it pisses me off. I think all the bozos should be thrown out of office and we should start over; and I think anyone who WANTS to run for office should not be allowed to. I ran a bunch of different names through that generator and I just like Hillary's the best. It really made me laugh.

Okay, on to training. Well, for the first time in a long time I had a totally awesome week. I did not get in everything I wanted to but I got in a lot more than I thought I would. I will calculate the totals and log them later. I will also work up and proper training schedule for next week. I'm really liking this swimming early in the morning, and I can already see improvement. Running was good too. I even got a couple of sessions on the bike trainer in, woohoo!!! I'm really looking forward to this weekend; long run tomorrow, long bike on Sunday. I need to fit in a rest day, I don't want to overtrain. I think Friday will be my "rest" day. I swim in the morning but I think that will be it, nothing tonight. That sounds like a plan.

My eating has been totally spot on for 2 weeks now. I'm very, very pleased. I'm following the WW Core program and it's really making a difference. With the Core program you eat as much as you want (you follow this fullness guide - listen to your body, what a concept!!!) but you stick to whole foods; fruits, veggies, whole grains, meat, etc. It's great, I really love it. I don't get starving hungry, I get hungry but not in the, "OH my god, I'm going to gnaw off my arm if I don't get some food." I'm eating every 2.5 - 3 hours and my blood sugar is really enjoying it too. It's been pretty stable and I haven't had any really bad reactions in a while now, and it feels great.

Okay, nuff said.

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.
