Two posts in one day, oh my!!!

I'm just so proud of myself I have to brag a little.  Even though there was a point a few years ago where I was in awesome shape and I managed to find time for everything; running, swimming, strength, biking, hiking; not to mention working full time, I still use the excuse of not having enough time.  I'm doing next to nothing now and still working full time but I'm home by 4:30 instead of 6.  Yeah, it's an excuse and I'm working it for all it's worth.  In all seriousness I've been trying to come up with ways to make workouts not only convient but super easy.  Well, I've come up with a couple of ideas and I'm so pleased with myself.  First, I'm worked it out so that I can walk the dogs again.  Yea!!  This means that when I come home from work I will now take an hour long walk, a half hour with each dog.  Sweet.  I love walking my dogs and this is a fabulous way to end a day.  Also, I moved my stationary bike into the living room.  The living room in this house is large enough to hold 2 couches and my bike and still have plenty of room. So my plan is in the evening instead of sitting on my butt watching TV I can sit on the bike.  I plan on doing it for at least 30 minutes every night and will work up to more.  There is even a magazine holder that is big enough to hold my netbook if I really wanted to.  I've been trying to do some research and get another insurance quote for the house and car.

I've also set some goals for myself.  I want to be able to take CrossFit Hawaii during summer break but I need to be in better shape then I am now.  I also want to start running again and have a driveway built for hill repeats.  My goal is to be able to run up that driveway 10 times without stopping. Things to work towards. 

I'm excited. I want to get back to where I was when I had time to do everything. That is my ultimate goal.

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.
