The week that crashed

-


I started Monday morning with the intention of having a really good, on track week. My shoulder was feeling better so I could probably go a little harder at Crossfit and I was ready to get my eating back on track. Then Sunday I came down with a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. Woke up Monday feeling like I had a little bit of a head cold, but nothing I couldn't deal with. This would not derail me. By Monday afternoon my entire week had fallen apart. First I got a call that I needed to tutor on Tuesday night from 5-6pm. Bleh....Okay, I can do that. Then some friends wanted to get together on Wednesday night. We hadn't seen some of these people in 10 years and Tuesday was the only night we could all agree on. So there went Tuesday. The last straw was an email telling me I got into a training class that was on Thursday from 6-9pm. Okay, there you have it. My week just shot to hell. I decided to use this to my benefit though. My shoulder was getting progressively better, but very slowly. I decided to take the entire week off, give my shoulder a real rest, and not try to pressure myself into going to Crossfit. Unfortunately, giving up working out seemed to give me license to give up eating anything resembling food. I ate junk like there was no tomorrow. Candy, cookies, donuts, whatever. Luckily I woke up this morning with a renewed determination to put this train back on track. I have eaten well all day. I did not go to Crossfit as I was running a little late tonight. But 9am I am there. This train is back on the tracks and ready to leave the station.

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.
