Yesterday

-

turned out to be an awesome day. I got up in the morning and had breakfast immediately. Around 8 am I left for the gym and rode my bike over. I have not ridden my bike in a week or so and it was brutal. Brutal I tell you. But I made it to the gym and hit the treadmills. I started couch to 5k - again. So Week 1 Day 1 is 5 minute warm up, 60 second running/90 second walking 8 times. I started running at 5mph and every run interval cranked it up. My last run interval was 6.0mph and it wasn't that hard. Yes, it was only for 60 seconds, but for those 60 seconds I felt incredible. Then I headed down to the Bodypump class and did that. I powered through those moves even when it felt like my muscles were on fire. And, if that wasn't enough, I then hopped on my bike and rode over to Kailua to meet Hubby and head to Whole Foods. My legs were thrashed by the time I hooked up with Hubby. They felt like wet noodles. Awesome!!!! I spent the rest of the day taking it easy and worked on my thesis a little bit. But what a fabulous day. My arms this morning are feeling the workout yesterday. Woo Hoo!!!

A couple of things that occurred to me yesterday. First, I am much, much stronger then I give myself credit for. If I can run at 6mph at this weight, I am a runner. So I really am strong. Also, the best days are the days I do things. I rarely say I had a good day just sitting around the house. So I need to get out and do things.....

The bad part is I don't have a plan for today. Yikes.... I have been up for an hour already and don't know what I'm going to do today. I better go figure it out right now.

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.
