I hereby declare this a new start!!!

-
I was reading back through my posts and discovered that I have been dealing with this whole animal situation for 3 weeks. It ends here and now. Rocco is all healed and doing well. We will have to keep an eye on him and check for lumps for the rest of his life but that's okay, I can live with that. The bird is adjusting, slowly, but adjusting so we're good on that front. So this is it. I hereby declare today the end of all bullsh*t.

In the spirit of new starts, tomorrow I start my workouts again - with consistency and feeling. I have to say my back is much better. I haven't really done anything but some stretching and ibuprofen. It worked. My back is much, much better. See, I didn't need no stinking doctor :)

Anyway, I've been reading everyone's blogs and getting very jealous. Even though some of you are in the frozen tundra you guys are still managing to get your training in. Very good!!! That's determination!!!! So I'm taking a page out your book and getting my butt back in gear. Tomorrow I will do weights and run. Sunday will be a long, slow bike ride. Monday is the Great Aloha Run. I'm looking forward to this, it will be a good weekend.

I must say I have been doing extremely well on the eating front. I've been so stressed out over other things I've just been eating a pretty standard diet and it's working. So that I'm happy with. Starting tomorrow I will be counting calories again.

Okay, I'm back and (will soon be) stronger than ever.

I have been very busy this past week working on something that I hope I can share with you soon. I know, I hate when people do this, but I don't want to jinx anything. I can tell you that it really won't be very exciting to anyone but me but I like to share :)

So starting tomorrow look for more training posts. I am going to start running a lot more.

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.
