Wednesday thoughts

-
Lots of people participate in Wordless Wednesday. Not me. I generally have too much to say :)

First, I was to note on a commenter. Amy commented on my post about my HR when running. She has a website, Runners Lounge, which looks pretty darn cool. It's a place for runner's to go and hook up with other runners. It seems that all the stuff on the site is user generated. There are forums where you can talk with other runners, links to training programs, and a blog. There's lots of other stuff you all should go and check it out. I love finding new sites about running, triathlon, etc.

So today was strength training. Actually yesterday was but I took off :) So strength training. I have had fantastic workouts for 2 1/2 weeks and have been feeling fantastic after my workouts. Today?? Not so much. I know that all workouts can't be perfect but today was tough. My heart was not in it and I just couldn't get into it. But I did complete it and did the best I could so I guess that's all I can ask for. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I probably should get back to work. It's the end of the month and we have a ton of samples. Why does everyone wait till the end of the month to send their samples in??? They could at least send gift baskets to make up for it :)

Michelle, I have a Garmin 305 and it totally rocks :)

I have Garmin envy :) I think workouts are just like days, some good, some bad and some just ok. You've got a good one coming.

Sometimes we have off days, but as long as you keep going back and trying again, it gets better.

I hate the end of the month crunch too. Why do we always do that?
Sorry to hear you're a little down and sad to hear about Rocco's situation. My thoughts are with you.

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.
