Time to do the work

-
Over spring break I started running again and it felt good. Really. Really. Good. But this first week back to school has been a train wreck. I could not get my act together on Monday or Tuesday. By Wednesday things were going better and by Thursday I felt back in the groove,  but that was the end of the week. I'm hoping for a much, much better next week.

Because of the train wreck that was last week, I didn't have the energy or motivation to run after school. Then I was going to run home from the park yesterday but Mavy was not feeling well and I wanted to get to school and get my stuff done for the day. So I flaked out on the running. That's not going to happen today, I'm running home no matter what.

But the bottom line is I want to do things. I'm getting to the point where sitting around is just not cutting it anymore. I want to do things. I want to run. I want to lift weights. I want to do some cardio. I want to do things and move. So I'm going to do that. I'm just going to have to make it a priority and do it when I get home. One problem is I will jump in the pool when I get home. Wrong!!!!  Once I get in the pool, nothing gets done the rest of the day. So I need to do this stuff before I get in the pool. The pool needs to be a reward for doing what I need to do.

This has now circled around to attitudes I've had for years. I'm going to be 60 next month. It's time to break these ridiculous attitudes and act like a grown up. At least a little.

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...

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.

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...
