Blogger hates me!!!

-
Or maybe it's my computer that hates me. Now that I think about it, the entire inanimate world is pretty much out to get me. Paranoid??? No way!!!

Anyway, for whatever reason, I could not post Sunday or yesterday. Not that anything happened that was note worthy but I was trying to blog everyday for 30 days. Oh well, the best laid plans of mice and men..........

Meanwhile, life goes on. I have 1 more day of work left then a 4 day weekend - woohoo!!!!!

Rocco has managed to not rip open his stitches so that's good. They gave me an Elizabethan collar for him but when I put it on him he just sits there and whines. Not a pretty sight. But the wound looks like the edges have sealed and he doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, so I'm risking leaving it off. I love to live on the edge (the edge of financial ruin!! It will cost a fortune to have his face restitched).

Workouts have been happening. Due to some lower back pain I've added yoga and pilates 4 times a week and I'm really enjoying it. I love yoga and pilates is very similar. I did not make it to the pool this morning only because I didn't want to leave Rocco so early (I know, I'm insane!!) so it was pilates.

Well, there you have it. 3 days of my life in 5 paragraphs. God, I really need to get a life :)

I made a promise to myself after the ironman to give yoga/pilates a try. I've heard so many good things about both. I didn't care for it. I think it was because I stunk at it. Plus I was still in the ironman training mindset of ... hey if my HR isn't over 130 I'm not getting anything accomplished here... I probably should have stuck with it a bit longer. You said you were enjoying it, but has it helped the back pain?

P.S. I'm glad to hear that Rocco is doing better. I was getting worried since you hadn't posted in a few days.

One thing I miss right now is doing pilates for the core work. I can do some finally, but can definitely feel the need to get back to it. When I started pilates at least 6 years ago, no one had even heard of it. I don't do it all the time (especially now), but its something you can go back to again and again and get benefit from it.

Good luck with continued success with Rocco. Those collars are hilarious but I guess they do some good.

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.
