Running again?

-

I have entered into a challenge for the month of October. It's a running challenge. The goal is 30 miles in 30 days. It did not start well since I did not run/walk today. That is okay. My knee was a little large this morning, so I give myself a pass today. I may walk tonight. I may walk soon. I only have to walk 1 mile. If not, that's okay, I will make it up in the remaining 29 days.

I want to run again. I want to swim again. I want to bike again. I want to enter races. I want to run and do triathlons. I need to run. So it begins again tomorrow. I'm scared and excited.

Since my last post, I have had a different attitude and a different view of life. I am working really hard on being more open with people. I am working on stepping outside my comfort zone and things have been going well. I feel better and I like it. On Saturday we had a Swissy playdate with some new friends and that was awesome.


There is Ava, Lila and of course baby Bella. How cool it was to have all 3 of them together. They were pretty calm for 3 strange dogs being together. In no time they were just laying side by side chilling. It was awesome.

One thing that happened that was amazing for me. Saturday was really busy and I didn't die from not getting a nap. Seriously, I didn't!!!! I left here Saturday around 10:30 for the volleyball game. Watched that. Came back, grabbed Hubby and the dog and was off again. Got back around 5:00. Dropped off the dog, hopped back in the car and headed out to the Hoolaulea. Walked around there and ate some dinner. Got home for the final time around 7:00 pm. I was tired but really happy with the day. It's definitely in the attitude. I was looking forward to everything I was doing and it was fun. Sunday was just as good, even though I spent the day writing papers. It really is all in how you look at it. My attitude has been pretty good lately and things are going well. I like it.

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.
