This week's been rough

-


Yeah, kind of like that. I've been really struggling with a couple of different things and I'm not sure why - though I do have some ideas.

So first, I bought a new car, as I talked about last time. This has caused some minor uneasiness in my life because I keep thinking that maybe I should have waited. It's kind of silly to worry about that now, it's a done deal, but I can't help but think that.

Second, we got hit with, what could be, a major financial problem. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it is bothering me a bit.

Third, I seemed to have reached a plateau with Crossfit. I try to work my hardest, but I don't feel like I am. I wrote in my journal last week, that I feel like I've been phoning in the workouts. I feel like I have the ability to work a whole lot harder than I am, but I don't. As a result, I feel like I'm stuck. I want to get better but I can't seem to.....

Finally school. My heart has not been in it this week and it is showing big time. I have been really low energy and that seriously effects the classes. I hate when I am this way, but it is hard to shake.

On the good side, this is Friday and we have a 3 day weekend. I had thought of blogging everyday for a week or two to try and track things and see if I can figure out exactly what's going wrong. I may give that a go. I also want to record my Crossfit workouts and see about taking them to the next level. Also, it's a 3 day weekend and I have plans for tomorrow and Monday. Yeah. Monday is the Great Aloha Run. I've done this race for years, but not in the last couple. I'm not in any condition to run 8 miles, but it will still be a fun time.

Okay, pity party is over. There are many, many things I can't control in my life, but I can control how I respond to them and that's what I'm going to work on. I'm going to have fun this weekend. Do some things I enjoy. Maybe bust out my camera. I need to change my attitude.

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.
