This I have a problem with

-

I always try to find these keep calm quotes, because someone once told me they hated them. So, of course I want to use them :) But seriously. Finishing strong is not something I do well. It is not. I have always been that way. I reach a point, in anything, and I'm done. I just want it to end. Does not matter if it is finished or over or complete or whatever, I just want it done. I'm trying to get over that in Crossfit, and succeeding to some degree. Most workouts I can speed up as we near the end, some it's just not possible. But certain things it is just beyond my ability. I had a paper due today. It was a major paper. I have been working on it for 10 weeks. I reached the point today where I was over it. I could barely get up the energy to do it at all. I did a really crappy job but just as I was going to turn it in, I rethought it and rewrote it. It's a lot better than it was, but still crappy. But I'm done. I'm over it. I really would like to break this attitude. I'm not sure how to go about breaking it though. Doing things before I get to that point? Doing an entire project when I care about it?? I don't know. It is something I have dealt with all my life, not sure I'm going to be able to change now - though I really would like to.....

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.
