Over the top - as usual....

-
As is typical, I went a little crazy in my workout planning.  I had these delusions of doing strength training then going for a run right after.  Huh...that didn't work out so well on Saturday maybe I should take it as a sign.  So I've revamped my ideas just a bit.  I walked over to the studio, did my strength training and walked home this morning.  This evening I'm doing the circuit training at the studio.  Tomorrow morning it's my 8 mile run. Tomorrow evening maybe nothing - I'll have to see.  I figure it's better to workout everyday rather than jamming it all in on one day and falling apart the next.  I do love the circuits though, so I'm doing those on Monday night and Friday morning. Running will be Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.  I'm going to do 8 miles each day so running 3 days a week should be more than enough.  Also, the 10k on New Years Day will be a piece of cake - I like that :)

I've decided I'm getting a Wii.  I have been watching the ads for the XBox 360 Kinect but those are almost $600.  Yikes... I've wanted a Wii for a really long time but I kept thinking that I needed to get the Wii Fitness thingee with it, which would make that around $300-$350 depending on the controllers, etc...  But I was just looking around and I have found some Wii bundles on sale for $179 and games on sale for $19... So I'm going to get a Wii... Of course, Hubby doesn't know this yet but I'm going to tell him we can buy a golf game and that should convince him.  Plus now he doesn't have to go shopping for jewelry like cubic zirconia rings. He will be very happy about that. He hates shopping, especially at Christmas time.

Right now I need to go eat some lunch.... Strength training makes me hungry.

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.
