How did I get here?

-
Seriously. How did I get where I am right now? How did this happen? It's a bunch of little tiny steps that landed me where I am. I'm talking about my health and fitness. Next Sunday I have a 5k race. My first 5k in a long, long time. Years even. Can I run 3.1 miles? I don't know. I honestly and truly do not know. I know I can walk 3 miles and that is a good thing, but run? Wow!!! But you know what? I'm going to do it. It's $25 and it's literally in my backyard. I'm going to do it. I'm printing the registration form right now and I'm mailing it tomorrow. I need to reclaim my energy and vitality. I need to get back on track and back in the groove. This week is only 4 work days. I have Thursday off for Veteran's Day so there is absolutely no excuses. I will workout every single day this week. I will run. A. Lot. I'm getting up at 4:30 tomorrow and running 3.1 miles. From there I will determine my next move. Run Tuesday or wait until Wednesday. I'm definitely running on Thursday. Then I will run Friday. Rest on Saturday. Race on Sunday. Awesome. Last year the women in my age group won in 46 minutes. I can do that :)

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.
