was basically a success.. I walked over to strength class...did that, and I tried to keep it light since I knew I would be running after...talked to a lady about biking next weekend - sweet!!... began my run...now after doing a whole boatload of squats and lunges my legs were a little shaky, so initially running was not an option...no problem - I walked.... for the first 2 miles, I walked... fast.... that took me to the gates of the botanical garden...at that point I knew there was no way I was going to do the 5 miles in and out of the gardens..so I made a tactical decision and turned around at the gate...and went home.  I went a total of 4.5 miles....not the 8 I was planning on but I'm happy with it...today my legs are just the tiniest bit sore...I can feel the muscles in my quads and my calves and it feels good....clearly I did a lot of work yesterday.... Tomorrow is shaping up like this:

  • strength workout in the morning
  • circuit training at night
  • botanical garden run in between
  • get insurance for my car (don't ask I accidently got an rv insurance quote instead of a car quote) 
  • get a safety inspection on my car
  • register my car
as for today, doesn't look like much is going to happen. It's been raining here since 3 am and things are flooding slightly...not enough to worry about but enough to make it almost impossible to run...I already did some work on the spare room but so much of that crap is Hubby's it really takes him too....I'll probably sit and grade tests this afternoon...it would be awesome to get those done and out of the way....then I find something to do..lord knows there are tons of things I can do...

    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.
