Cookies and donuts

-


Seriously!!! It feels like that's all I've been eating lately. It's not true, but it feels that way. I have let the perfect storm knock me around and out for a bit. It started with Murph on Monday. Crossfit has what they call the hero workouts. Murph is a classis and one that it seems all Crossfits do for Memorial Day. It's a 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, followed by a 1 mile run. I did that. Only I did an 800 meter run, not 1 mile. But for the next two days my legs were killing me. My quads and calves were so tight I could hardly walk. They were causing my knee to swell, it was brutal. Also, this is the last week of school and it's been a little crazy. I have projects to grade and final grades to enter and a room to clean and summer school to prep for..Plus I'm starting my new classes....It's a lot of pressure. I have not been to Crossfit since Monday. As a result, more cookies and donuts have snuck their way into my mouth then should be allowed. I feel like the Pillsbury dough boy, soft and squishy. But I'm not going to let it keep me down.

Tomorrow night it's back to Crossfit. On Sunday I start my running program. I will be a runner by the end of the summer. I'm going to do Crossfit 5 or 6 days a week and run 3 to 4 days a week. I'm looking forward to 8 weeks of brutal workouts, eating right, and lots of naps and rest. It sounds perfect to me.

I have other plans too. I'm redoing the room I'm sitting in right now. My computer room has become a disaster. I'm getting rid of my desk and building a new one. I have the wood outside that I have to stain and varnish. I really need to get a couple 3m n95 for the fumes. I hate breathing those fumes. I also want to redo the spare room. It has rapidly become a junk room, time to clean it out.

So those are my summer plans. Oh, I also plan on getting in some beach time too. I'm thinking of heading to the beach at least 2 or 3 times a week. I totally can not wait.....

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.
