It's getting better all the time.......

I think I had burned myself out. Other than tired, I have felt great. I have just wanted to feel great while in a prone position. I'm also thinking it might have been a little stress. There are some things going on that I'm letting get to me. Yesterday I worked on taking care of what I could and just letting the rest go. If I can't do anything about it why do I worry???

Last night when I came home I actually felt like running. I didn't because I got involved in other things but that was a huge improvement. I put my running shoes out in case I wanted to run this morning. When I woke up I thought about it but I just couldn't push myself out of bed. That's okay. Now that I'm thinking about it, action will soon follow. I'm sure in no time I'll be over this.

The real problem is that Tinman is in 11 days and I have absolutely no desire to do it. The thought of it just makes me want to crawl in bed and pull the covers over my head. I'm not sure what to do about this. I don't want to force myself - hello, more stress!! So at this point I've kind of mentally written it off. If, in the next few days, my feelings change, I'm pretty ready to do it. But I'm not going to force myself if I really don't want to do it. That's just stupid. Oh well, whatever happens will happen, I'm not going to stress over it.

I will have to start marathon training soon. I'm actually looking forward to just running. I've been slacking on my running and I'm looking forward to really putting a good effort into it. I need some new running shoes. Of course, I need a vacation too. Maybe I could find some Hilton Head rentals :)

Well, I should go get something done.

Glad your embers are still burning. Your fire will be roaring again soon. Sounds like you just needed some rest. Glad you're not forcing yourself to do the Tinman if you aren't up for it. This is supposed to be fun, if it's not, we'll quit altogether.

Your description of how you were feeling about the Tinman made me go find this set of tips that I'd read awhile ago - it's about LISTENING to your body!!

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.
