Vacation planning

-
Okay, so my SF marathon fell through and I'm bummed, but I'm moving on. We are in the process of planning our vacation. Since Hubby has started a new job we are scaling back the vacation plans this year. We were going to take cruise to Alaska but we're saving that for next year. Instead we are going to fly into Las Vegas (it's cheap from here, don't ask me why) and we're thinking of renting a mobile home and cruising Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. There are couple of places I want to see in all three states and we're thinking a mobile home would be the easiest way. We could eat in the mobile home because I HATE eating out a lot, and we could pretty much stop anywhere and sleep. So that's the plan. Now, my question to you folks who live in Arizona, Utah, and Nevada is this, I want to do a marathon while I'm there. We are looking at September or early October. Anyone know of any races around this time in these areas??? Please let me know. Also, if you live in these areas let's meet up as I cruise around :)

Today was a rest day. It kind of wasn't planned but I woke this morning with a little plantar pain. One thing I have learned with PF is don't push it. I took the morning off, stretched it out, and am wearing my rigid insoles. It's feeling much better already.

Well, I better get to work, lots to do today :(

There's a bunch of us who did not get into the SF Nike event. We're looking to do either the San Jose half marathon or the Big Sur half marathon, both in the Fall. It would be kind of funny to get a contingent of "Not Selected for Nike" runners. :)

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.
