It's Friday.....

Yea!!

Well, apparently there is something in the air tonight, some kind of change in the weather. Some where some demons mixed some fire and ice together. Whoops!! Got lost in Jimmy Buffet there for minute :) But seriously. This afternoon I snapped at work. Some stuff came up and it I just snapped. Hey, it happens. But it seems Iron Matron Mary has a similar incident. Weird, huh??

Last night at cycling I had an issue. We went to an area and did some hill repeats. The hill was pretty steep but not all that long, so it was completely doable. The problem I had was that every cycling group was at this hill last night. There were easily 100 people going up and down this hill. This is a quiet residential area, I know if I lived there I'd be pissed off. At one point 3 people came flying by me at around 30 mph without a word. Scared the hell out of me and I almost went into a parked car. My problem is this, since we all know that every training group shows up on Thursday nights why don't we change the night. Tuesday night we did spinning on the turbo trainers. Why did we go to the hills on Tuesday and spin on Thursday? Every training group follows the same schedule and does the same rides on the same days. Why can't we break it up a little??? That ticked me off. I ended up only doing the hill once, it really wasn't worth it.

Also, by the time we were heading back to the car it was dark. I could not see the ground where I was headed and I don't like that. When I can't see where I'm going I kind of freak out a little. I don't like it when I'm running and I really don't like it when I'm biking. So that's my problems and I don't know exactly what to do about it. Hubby did get me a nice super bright headlamp that I'm going to rig up on my aerobars so that I can see the road in the dark. Hopefully that will help.

Tomorrow is my last day of slothfulness. Sunday morning it's back into the groove. But I will be taking days off and cutting back every 4th week so this doesn't happen again. Hubby and I are going out to lunch then out to the outlet mall. The prices our there are way better than even Macys coupons. Can't wait.

It's chaos when running with a lot of people, I can only imagine on bike, and at night! Yikes!

I hope you had a good time at the outlet mall.

Enjoy your weekend!

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.
