Can I go back to bed now???

-
Ugh, I did not sleep well last night and pretty much feel like crap this morning. I don't know what's wrong, I just kept waking up and then not being able to get back to sleep. I have my suspicions as to the cause. The last week or so I've been having major hot flashes and I believe that this is the next step in the process. Ugh!!!!

So, needless to say, I didn't workout this morning. It's okay as I'm in a semi-taper for my race this weekend, so I'm not worried just bummed.

I swam yesterday and that was fun. I had no workout planned I just wanted to swim for fun, so I did. I did the crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, side stroke, whatever I felt like with the flip turns. For the first time in a long time the swim was just fun!!!

I guess I'll just take it easy today. I've got some other things going on outside of tris and I'll guess I'll focus on those today. Work has been crazy so maybe I'll go in a little early and get a jump on things.

Ahh the middle of life! The one great thing about night sweats is when the house is freezing and you need to pee it's a joy to get out of bed and cool off!

Well I hopee you survive this part of your life, if it is what you think. I was pretty much the same. Didn't sleep well for years, just wake up at 2 or 3 am and stay awake from then on. Hard to get up and train when you are always tired! Hang in there. You should do okay for your race if you have done the training.

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.
