And we are back (I think).....

-

 Went back to school on Monday and while most of the time was spent in meetings, I did do lot of walking.  The leg feels amazing. I did not even think of it as I was doing things all week long. The only time it crossed my mind was when I had to get up on my little step stool, I still don't completely trust it and there is a tiny bit of pinching. I did however, take the stairs often. Sometimes all four flights. Wow! And it does feel good. Walking is fine. Stairs I still need to work on. Standing from sitting is fine. Yeah, I think we are definitely on the mend. I did start adding collagen peptide to my coffee and I think that may be helping some too. 

So now I'm faced with the same dilemma from last week, I want to start working out but how do I do that? I haven't done Supernatural much this week, the last time I did it, I could still feel the calf muscle so decided to back off again. Monday and Tuesday I did hit my step goals and it really wasn't that hard. Tuesday I hit it before noon. I was tired when I came home last week, but not crazy exhausted tired. Just tired from having worked. One day, I think it was Tuesday, I came home and lounged in the pool reading. That was awesome. I believe that I am definitely on the mend and may be healed, but I still plan on going a little bit slowly so that I don't reinjure anything. 

Which leads me back to my dilemma. How and when do I exercise? I am seriously considering starting back at square one and working out 2x a week for the first 4 weeks. I know that is not much, but I want to build strength slowly and not hurt myself. Which leaves me open to just go on Fridays and Sundays. So that's what I'll do. 2 days a week for 4 weeks plus Supernatural 5 days - any 5 days that I choose. Okay, I'm good with that. Going to put it on my calendar and start right in. Yes!!!!

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.
