Trying to decide

-
I'm trying to decide what to do and I'm having trouble.  I'm getting back into the workout groove and I'm feeling really, really good.  But now that school has started again I can see potential problems that I might run into and cause me to stop my workouts.  It is very tempting to say there is only 7 weeks of school left and I can workout after it ends.  But 7 weeks is a long time and I'm feeling so good now I don't want to stop working out. 

Spring is a popular time for all sorts of training programs and many of them are starting in the next couple of weeks.  Last time I got so fit I had joined  a training program and that got me started on really good fitness.  So I was thinking of doing the same thing now.  Join a training program to push me in my training.  So I'm faced with a couple of options. 
  • There is a 4 week boot camp at 6 am M-W-F.  The problem with this is it runs from 6-7 and I have to be to work at 7:30.  It's held in parks where I could shower and dress so it really could be worked out. 
  • There is a 12-week fitness program that meets on Mon, Weds, and Saturday.  This is a varied program where they do all kinds of different things.  It meets at 5:30 pm close to my work. 
  • There is also a train running program.  It meets Mon, Weds, and Saturdays at 5:30 pm.  
So I'm really leaning towards the trail running program the problem is the following:
  • It meets on Mon and Weds nights from 5:30 to 7 pm near where I work.  
  • I take classes on Tues nights from 5 -8.  
  • Mon, Tues, and Weds nights I won't get home until after 8 for 6 weeks.  
  • On July 6 my summer classes start and they are Tues and Thurs. - but I don't have to attend these classes.
  • For 4 weeks I won't get home until 8 on Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs.  
  • But school where I teach ends at the beginning of June so my days will be free.
I need to decide by tomorrow as the orientation meeting is tomorrow and trail running starts on Monday.  I'm leaning towards doing it only because it will push me and force me to stick to a workout schedule until it becomes a solid habit again.

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.
