Tuesday morning.

-
And I woke before the alarm and got up shortly after it went off.

When I was really heavy, I was really tired. As I lost weight my energy level increased substantially. But I guess I got used to my energy level. I get tired now, not like when I was heavy and couldn't keep my eyes open, but I do get tired. If I eat right and exercise my energy level goes up but not by leaps and bounds like it did in the past. I just find that I need slightly less sleep and I wake up easier. I still get tired at 3-4 p.m. and love to take naps on weekend afternoons, it just not debilitating like it was when I was heavy.

The reason I was thinking about my energy levels is that I can't go to sleep at 9 p.m. anymore. I can easily stay up till 10 and it doesn't bother me. I've been waking about 20 minutes before the alarm goes off so I know I'm getting enough sleep. Also, I'm not particularly tired during the day. That's what's been happening lately. It was worse last night because there was nothing good on TV and I didn't have a decent book to read. UGH!!!!

So this morning was intervals. These are getting better too. I can go faster during the 1 minute interval and it seems to pass really quickly. Before that minute would seem sooooo loooooongggg............. Today the whole thing was over before I knew it.

I'm going to start my lunch time running again. I got off of it for some reason that I can't quite remember. I think it was my plantar and my general malaise. The plantar is still there, though much better since I got the new insoles, but the general malaise has passed so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Guess that's all I have to say right now. Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday.

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.
