Throw down the gauntlet

-

 like I did the other day and things get better. My calf has been painless for 2 days now and while I can still feel the muscle, it doesn't hurt anymore. I can walk relatively normally, I say relatively because I still find myself limping a bit and favoring the left side but I think that is more from habit now than anything else. I'm expecting pain, so I'm prepping for pain, but then not getting any pain. I do need to see the Chiro but missed my appointment yesterday. Bummer. Now I probably won't be able to see him until Tuesday. I really should find a chiro with better hours. 

Anyway, I went into school on Wednesday and my feet ended up in agony from working in my classroom. Then, Thursday, we had some errands to run and went to 1800 different stores and ended with a visit to Walmart, and of course the items I wanted were all the way on the opposite end of the store from what Hubby wanted. Anyway, I ended up with extremely sore feet again. Not quite as bad as the day before but close. That made me realize that I have got to focus on being on my feet. If my feet hurt like this, I'm going to die when school starts. Die!!! So I need to be on my feet more. Which of course, leads to yesterday when I did not do that. Here's the breakdown: 

Wednesday 7701

Thursday 5850

Friday 3665

That is pathetic. I have got to get those numbers up. And it's not for some outcome, not because I think it will help me lose weight or anything like that, but because I don't want to die on the first day of school. 

Okay, enough whining. So I'm planning on restarting my exercise routine on Monday. But I'm thinking of doing the PT exercises tonight. I have made a habit of changing two variables at a time and not being able to figure out which is working. For example, Wednesday when I went to school, I not only got all those steps but I wore my big inserts all day. Now, why were my feet so tired because I did all those steps or wore the big inserts? Don't know. Why did I feel so much better the next day, because I did all those steps or wore the big inserts? Don't know. I did Supernatural and my PT exercises on the same day and the next day my knee hurt a little. Was it Supernatural or PT? Don't know. So I need to slow down and add one thing at a time back in. I'm going to do my PT exercises tonight and that is all. Then I will see how I feel tomorrow and if I feel good I will do them again tomorrow night. If all is good on Monday, I will head to the gym for an upper body workout. Then it's off to school to do more cleaning. 

Okay, I need to get back into the groove, but I need to do it in a more controlled fashion.

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.
