I just couldn't do it this morning...

-
Monday I got up and went swimming. I had not slept well Sunday night due to some problems during the day and when I got to the pool I really had to push myself. Hard. I did, but I still fell short of my goal of 1500 m. I was tired. So I ended up at around 1000 and called it good. I had had a good workout and that was more important than the number of meters swam.

Yesterday when I woke up it was 64F outside. That's freaking cold. But I got up and did my 20 minute run. I never really got warm. It was hard but I did it.

Today I was supposed to go swimming. When I woke it was so cold there was no way I was getting out of bed. The temperature gauge says 61F now. I'm guessing that an hour ago it was in the 50's. And yes, the temperature can change that much in that short a time. This is freaking crazy. So I did not get up to go swimming, I just couldn't do it. I'm thinking of changing my schedule around anyway because I want to start getting ocean swims in on the weekend. I can't swim more then 3 times a week with my shoulder so I may cut back to 2 pools swims and then 1 ocean swim. At least for a few weeks. Once I build my shoulder back up I should be able to swim 4 times a week.

So that's my story this morning. We are supposed to get some rain today so hopefully that will warm things up :)

So I guess you're not into cross country skiing or snowshoeing. I know 61 degrees is cold for Hawaii and for you, but it just cracks me-- here in NY 61 degrees would feel like a heat wave right about now!

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.
