Some Friday randomness

-
This morning was weights and running again. WooHoo. I love spring. Now here in Hawaii we don't really have 4 seasons but there is a short time when we move from the colder, wetter into the drier, hotter. That transition time, which can last a couple of days or stutter for a couple of weeks, is one of my favorite times. There is a warmth in the air that's been missing. The flowers are starting to bloom again and the smell is incredibly. In the morning when I run there is a freshness and newness to everything. I absolutely love it.

I did all my workouts this week and really feel amazing. They were all good and that kept me going. I've gotten serious with the swimming, now is time to add in the bike and up the running some. I'm starting marathon training on Sunday so that will help with my running. I will be doing the Honolulu Marathon this year and that leads to my next topic......

I've put in for the lottery for the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco. I did it when the lottery opened last week or so and didn't really give it much thought. The other night I was talking to Hubby about it and what we would do if I got in, go for a long weekend and stay at Union Square, and I started to get really excited about it. The drawing is on April 1st and I'm really excited now. I really hope I get in.....

That's it for today. I've been posting on my other blogs so I'm kind of out of stuff to say. Hope everyone had a good week and has a great 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.
