The last day.....

-

 Today is the last day of summer break. Tomorrow it is back to school for 6 days of professional development and then the kids return. Yay!! It's actually been a pretty good summer. I got some rest. I read some books. I got some work done. Overall it was very good. Very restful and relaxing and I think I'm ready to begin the new year. 

On the leg front. I have not been to the gym since Monday. On my last post, I said how my legs felt so bad after working at school on Monday. Well, I went to school on Wednesday and worked and my legs were tired, but did not feel like they did on Monday. Which leads me to believe that I just need to get used to being on my feet again. Looking at my steps; Monday 7,300, Tuesday 3.500, Wednesday 5.600. So Tuesday I spent most of my day at my desk working on school things. Wednesday I was back in the classroom moving furniture. Thursday I didn't put my watch on for most of the day so that is not even close. I have not been using the leg much and it is definitely feeling good. No pain, no pressure or tension in the muscle. I can get up from sitting and just move without having to warm the leg up first. Overall it's feeling pretty darn good. I have been doing Supernatural the last 2 days. I am dying to workout and so I've been doing it but sitting in a chair. It works. Maybe not as well as standing, but it works. So at least I've been able to break a sweat and get some movement in. I want to go back to the gym but I don't know when  I should do that. Rest the leg some more? Go a couple of weeks without pain? Go and see what happens? I just don't know. I want to go to the gym a couple of days before school. I figure, if I can go to the gym around 4:30ish, work out for 30-40 minutes, come home a little after 5, walk Mavy for 20 minutes or so, hit the shower by 5:30 and be out the door by 6:15. That should work. And I don't want to do it every day, at most 2 days a week. Because I have 3 days on the weekend to go to the gym. So maybe do that on Wednesday and Thursday and then Saturday and Sunday. Or I could follow the prescribed days and do Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Then I would only be going 1 school day. Maybe I'll try that initially and see what happens. And I'll just start over with the program. Well, if I start over the first 4 weeks are only 2 days a week. So for the first month I could do Friday and Sunday. Hmmm....lots of options, lots to think about, lots of possibilities. Right now though, it's time to walk Mavy. He's been patiently laying here waiting for me.

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.
