Wave of exhaustion

-

Yesterday I had off and it was wonderful. I went to the Oly class at 7am and worked on some of my Oly lifts. Olympic lifting is not my thing at all, but it is fun to work on your form when you are not trying to cycle through them really fast. So that was good. Then I worked on some wrist wraps, these are going to be awesome, I just need to figure out a good way to market them. Then I went to the 4pm WOD. I was feeling all badass for going to the box twice in one day. Then things fell apart. I stopped at the store for dinner, since I didn't feel like turkey, and got a pot pie (yum) and some giant chocolate covered wafers. As I was walking through the store I started getting this pain in my right side. I don't know what it was but it was sharp at times. Back home I put the pot pie in the oven and proceeded to eat all 6 of the wafer thingees. And the pain persisted. I was getting a little concerned about it, but not enough to do anything. Then, around 8pm, I was hit with a wall of exhaustion. Just complete exhaustion. I felt like I could hardly keep my eyes open and that my limbs were moving through mud. I decided to head to bed but couldn't sleep. Then the wind started. Gusts of wind that were blowing things around and ripping tarps off roofs and making a lot of noise and mess. Then the rain began. Oh perfect. It was a night where the dogs were scared, so they were all in bed with us, and the noise level didn't allow for much sleeping. I think I finally got to sleep around 1-2am and was up by 6:30. I feel like crap. I'm not good on little sleep. I'm trying to decide right now if I should go to the 8 or 9 am WOD. I'm thinking 9, just so I can have another cup of coffee and try to become a little more human.

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.
