Back to our regularly scheduled program.

So, yeah, health and fitness, right.

Well, it's been a good week after the whole bread incident. I've been avoiding processed carbs like a fiend and it's working out well.

So, Monday I missed working out. Tuesday I did weights and ran for an hour at lunch. Wednesday I did my intervals. This morning??? Nothing.

Hubby went and played poker last night so I had the house to myself. I made some dinner, puttered around, got some financial stuff done, watched some TV, it was nice. Finally, after falling asleep during Criminal Minds, I headed off to bed. Of course, as soon as I got there I was wide awake. I lliedthere reading for a while and decided that I needed to get to sleep. I turn off the lights and just start to fall asleep when the murdering-drug dealer's dog starts whining. Now the dog does this every night and usually they move the dog to the other side of the house, but last night they weren't home. UGH!!!!

To make a long story very short, the dog didn't quiet down until after 11 and just as I'm finally getting to sleep Hubby comes home and the dogs get all excited. So I didn't get to sleep until after midnight. My alarm went off at 5 and there was no way I was getting up. When I finally dragged my butt out of bed at 6 I discovered my plantar was in full bloom. I couldn't walk. It took almost 15 minutes before I could stumble along half way decently. So I've decided to take the next 3 days off and really work on the PF. I'm going to stretch 2x a day (more if I remember), ice and ibuprofen. I'm not doing any activity until my marathon clinic on Sunday.

So there you have it. My life in 1000 words or less. Hope everyone else is having a good week.

Bummer you can't get a good sleep with the dog barking! And bummer on the foot problem. My hubby is feeling the same thing. Maybe his new shoes or too much running for him.
Hope it gets better for you!!

Why does that always seem to happen? Falling asleep while watching TV on the couch, but then going to bed and... wide awake? I just don't get it.

Have you ever heard of the sock? I have had a couple of friends get it. You wear it to bed and it is supposed to help with the PF.

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.
