Whew, what a day....

-
I have had just a great day.

It started with my bike ride to WW. My first ride with my bike shoes. I was so nervous but they turned out to be great. Why didn't someone tell me???? I discovered a couple of things during this ride.
  • I had apparently been holding my foot in some weird way. After every ride my right knee would bother me just a bit. Not today. It felt perfect after my ride.
  • My lower back didn't hurt at all. After a long ride my lower back starts to ache. Not today.
  • I rode faster. It usually takes me about 45 minutes to get to WW. Not today. I took me 35 minutes. Woo Hoo!!!!
  • It was totally fun!!!!

Okay, I did fall once and it was completely embarrassing but not very painful. Trying to get out of the way of a pick-up backing up I ended up going really slow and decided I needed to put my foot down and stop. Good idea, accept I tried to just put my foot down. Probably want to unclip first. It was very interesting because there was one clear moment when I realized, I'm going down, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I ended up on the ground laughing while the poor guy in the pick-up thought he hit me. So I've fallen and lived through it, hopefully I'll be less worried about it from here on out.

My bike ride ended up being 18 miles in 1:53. Now, I need to explain that. I was cruising through an area looking at houses for sale. Yes, we've decided to break down and buy a house. This is not something I really want to do, but it's become a financial must. So I've begun the hunt.

After my bike ride, I ended up at the Racquet Club. Hubby was working so I hung around the pool reading waiting for him. I tried to swim in the pool but it's like 10 feet long; 4 strokes and I was at the end. In 3 minutes I did 6 laps. It was too weird. So I read my book.

Once hubby was done we headed over the hill so I could go to work. A half hour there and we were heading back to our usual Ruby Tuesday's Saturday lunch.

We then cruised the mall and picked up a couple of knick knacks for the house. Then it was home, load up the dogs and off to the beach.

Whew, I'm tired. It was a good day. I'm going to have dinner and head to bed early. I plan on getting up early tomorrow to run. After about 7:30 it's too hot to run so I'd like to be done by then.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

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.
