Disney World

-
So every year they have the Disney marathon. I'm considering doing it. Okay, I should back up just a little. I'm kind of doing some long range planning. I want to do some traveling and I'm looking to build it around some racing. Since one of my favorite places on earth is Disneyland I've decided it's time to go to Disney World.

The attractive thing about Orlando is that it's not just Disney World. There are lots of other things to see there. There are water parks, golfing, dining, shows, everything. I think it would be an awesome place to visit. I would have to get some Universal Studio Tickets just because I love things like that.

I live in a tourist place and as a result tend to get cynical about tourist places. But face it, that's where the action it. I'd love to visit the Orlando area just once to check it out. It may be touristy but it has Disney World!!!

Disney puts on a nice race but you have to get up pretty early. There is a lot to see in Orlando which can be a problem if you want a good marathon time. Schedule your site seeing _after_ the race.

It's a good race if you aren't worried about your time. The first time I did it I was seeded in the back corrals because I had no previous marathon times to warrent placing me closer to the start. I was into the 4th mile before I could manage a pace faster than 12 min. Other than that it was great.

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.
