And the saga of the leg continues

-

 After my last post, things were good with the leg. I didn't have any pain for a few days. I was in heaven. On Friday I went to the gym and did my leg workout. Then I went to the chiro. My low back on the left side had been bothering me and I had like a pinching feeling there. He adjusted it and it felt great. Then, as the day progressed, my calf started acting up. My back felt great but the calf was tightening up. What????? Again, there was no pain, it just felt tight. It was hard to walk normally because of the tightness in the calf. I'm like, WTF???? But the back felt great. Does this mean I have to choose between back pain or leg tightness? Saturday it was the same. Tight but definitely not painful. Saturday was a rest day so I didn't use it much. Then Saturday night I did my stretches to see if that would help. It didn't. Yesterday it was the same, tight. We went over to friend's house and I just hung out in the pool and relaxed. It does feel better this morning. I'm wondering if it's the chiro or if it was the leg workout. I don't know but the thing is I'm not stopping. I have a feeling that the only way to really get this leg completely normal is to get it stronger. So I'm going to focus on that and as long as I have no pain I will carry on. 

So this is the last week of summer break. It was a good summer. Probably one of the best I've had in a long time. I relaxed. Did some work. Did things I wanted to. Relaxed. Got back into working out. Yeah, it was good. 

But now it's crunch time. I still have some things that need to be done, like write my syllabus......Ugh!! Can't believe I haven't written that yet. But I'm not stressing. It will get done. It always does. 

That's about it. It is almost 5am and I'm going to walk Mavy and then head off to the gym. I want to continue the gym routine but I need to see what it's like super early. If it's quiet, I may go then one or two days a week. I have been going Mon-Tues and then Thurs-Fri, alternating upper and lower body. But that is not going to work. so I'm thinking of either Wed-Thurs and Sat-Sun, or Tues - Wed and Fri - Sat. I have a 7:30 am class on Tues and Thurs but none on Mon and Wed. The good news is that my 7:30 class is a repeat of the day before classes so things will be all set up and ready to go and I will know what I'm doing. I have also thought of Thurs-Fri and Sat-Sun. Not the worst thing to do but also not my favorite option. 

Okay, time to go.

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.
