It's Friday, yea!!!!!

-
I love Fridays. I'm not sure why exactly since my weekends are pretty busy. I think it just because the weekend provides a break in the routine. I still get up early. I still workout. This weekend I even have to work both days at Nutro. But it's different and I like different :)

So after my rest day yesterday today was weights. I do these lunges where you start at the bottom and don't come up all the way. You rise only until the muscles in your quad and butt stop working. When I started doing these about 3 weeks ago, I couldn't go very far before the muscles disengaged. I was doing them this morning and found I could raise myself almost all the way and keep the muscle activated. That's pretty cool. In this move you're really working the inner quad muscle. The one above your knee towards the center of your body. That muscle, in people who are in good shape, forms a teardrop shape on the thigh. I want a teardrop. My goal is two teardrops.

Okay, that's really all I have to say. I'm energetic and eager to get this day over. Hope everyone has a good Friday.

Have a good weekend! I'm looking forward to it too. But, will be doing a lot cleaning at my dad's cabin getting it ready for spring and things need to be done like vacuuming, picking up downed trees in the drive way and mowing the lawn. Ok, maybe I'm not looking forward to the weekend but by parent need the help.
Sounds like that workout for the legs you are doing is doing a lot of good for you. I just started back working out (well slowly) as we'be been sick around here. It's only been about 3 weeks off of exercise and it's like I'm starting over again. Ugggghhhh!

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.
