2008

-
Okay, I've put up a tentative 2008 schedule. The only month that's really in question is May. 3 races in 3 weekends?? I'm not sure about that, I'll have to see how things are going. If there is a choice to be made the Oly will win. This is not all the races I want to do this year by far. There is the Tinman Tri in July (I think). The Na Wahine in September. I might do an off road one in August. So there is still some flexibility and things will change as time goes on. One thing is, I am really looking forward to having a full race schedule and something really good to focus on. Maybe I should get myself a notebook computer to keep track of everything.

i just happened upon your blog and may i say, GOOD FOR YOU. one day out of nowhere my mom stood up from the couch and said, "i think i'll go running today." she put on her shoes and jogged around the block. 2 years later she ran her first marathon. this year she ran her second, having many other races already under her belt. the woman is amazing and so are you.

i hope to join you, once my body recovers from childbirth in january, in a race or two near the end of 2008. in 2009, i'll definitely see you at the triathlon. :)

keep up your hard work, it's going to pay off in a big way!

Good luck on your goals! They certainly keep you focused, making it easier to move on to each goal.

I'm so impressed with your schedule, even if it is tentative. I guess something about putting it out there for all to see makes all of those events more real. I should take your lead and do the same!

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.
