Change in plans

-
Again!!!  After yesterday's post, which ended rather abruptly, I talked to Hubby about the trail running and he brought up a good point that I had forgotten.  Last time I did any serious trail running I began a cycle of sprained ankles that lead to where I am now.  I was in really good shape running, biking, swimming, doing road races and triathlons, and basically feeling like a million bucks.  Then I decided to try trail running.  I did it a few times and really liked it so made it a regular part of my routine.  Then I twisted my ankle and was out of everything for a few days.  When I got back into it I quickly twisted the other ankle and was out again.  This went on for about 4 months.  I would twist one then the other then the first.  Now I believe that my right ankle is weak because of this.  I can twist it walking on flat ground if I don't have good, solid shoes on.  After talking to him I realized that that may have been what was tickling the back of my mind and why I was a little anxious about it.  Once I thought about it I decided that was not a good option at this time.  I'm heavier then I was then. I'm not as athletic/muscular as I was then.  I'm not as agile as I was then.  So I'm not going to do it. What I am going to do is get the workout room in some semblance of order so that I have room to do more than my elliptical.  I don't have the money to get the shelving I need to put everything away but I can move things to a corner and out of my way until we do get the shelves we want.  Once the workout room is in order I'll be able to do my DVD's again which is truly what I love anyway.  I may even get a treadmill. Actually, I will get a treadmill I just may get it sooner then I thought I would :)

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.
