Day 1

-

One of the most fabulous things about this life we get, is that we can change things at any time. Every day, hour, minute can be the beginning of a fresh start. That is what today is for me, a fresh start. For the past couple of months things haven't been going well on the workout and eating side. Today that all changes. I did a brisket in the crockpot last night so I have lunches this week. I got up this morning and did 15 minutes on the treadmill. I only walked but it is a start and I have a plan. My knee has been acting up big time, so I don't want to push it and really mess it up. So this week I walk everyday. I will add three minutes everyday so that by Saturday I will be up to 30 minutes. Next Monday, or possibly Sunday, I will start couch to 5k. I want to run. I want to run. I want to run. Tonight is Crossfit and I am so looking forward to it. It is going to be an awesome day!!!!

Update: It was an awesome day. I went to Crossfit after work and did Cindy!!!! Took it a little easy and did 11 rounds + 3 ring rows. Last time I did Cindy, I did 11 rounds + 11 ring rows, but I was killing myself. Last night I did not kill myself. Came home and had a mexican casserole thingee for dinner - it was awesome. Did some grading then headed to bed. I did have a small bowl of ice cream because I was hungry. I felt awesome, slept like a baby, and woke looking forward to the day. On to Day 2 :)

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.
