Routines

-
I'm trying to get back into the routine that really worked best for me. I have to take one day a week off from working out or I burn out quickly. I find that if I take Thursdays off I'm generally good to go for the weekend. If I wait and take a weekend day off I tend to over do the laziness factor. Thursdays are just a cardio day so if I take them off I can make up on the weekends by doing something both days. Makes sense, no???

This weekend is going to be busy. I have some mystery shopping to do, 4 of them. I have to get the house ready because I'm bird sitting. I want to go to the parrot club meeting on Sunday. I have to do my regular chores, make biscuits, clean house, do laundry, etc. And of course, after 2 weeks off, it's back to real estate hunting. Looks like I'll be pretty busy all weekend.

As for my foot, I'm ready to do something drastic. I'm considering a cortisone shot or some such nonsense. It's really gotten out of hand and I'm at the end of rope as to how to deal with it. I was noticing this morning when I got up that not only did the heel hurt, but all the way up the ankle hurt too. This is the ankle that I repeatedly sprained 2 years ago and that aches when I run. Is it possible there is something mechanically wrong with the ankle that is causing the PF?? Maybe it's time to go to the Dr. and have it checked out. It's just frustrating knowing there is not a lot they can do. Ugh!!!!

Okay, that's it for this morning. I'm going to go get ready for work. Hope you all have a great day.

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.
