Not beating myself up

-

 In the interest of not beating myself up, I have come to the realization that at this point in time, I have to limit my workouts. The four days I work are just too busy to try and fit something in and I refuse to beat myself up about it any more. I always have working out at the top of my mind and if I can do it, I do it. But if I can't because of work, I'm okay with that. I will do the best I can and just keep moving forward. I'm human. Sh*t happens. I will continue to do the best that I can. 

I'm trying to dissect my decision to not go hiking. I was supposed to go to Phon D. Sutton this morning and go hiking with a group. I was on the fence about it all week for a couple of reasons. One, it's supposed to be freaking hot today (hotter than it's been in a while) and we weren't starting until 7am. That means we would be out hiking until 9 or so. It's going to be blazing by then. So that was making me waffle. Then last night I looked it up and it's an hour and a half away. Yikes!!! For some reason I thought it was a whole lot closer. That means I'd be on the road for 3 hours. I'd have to leave here by 5:30am and if we didn't get done till say 10am, I wouldn't get home until almost noon. Um, yeah, no. Not that I don't want to do that hike, I do. But I think I will wait a little bit longer and do it when it's not so hot. Then I don't have to get there so early and it will be a lot cooler and we can spend the day there. So I'm pretty sure I didn't back out because it was 'uncomfortable' but for legitimate reasons. 

So that means I have a free morning. I'm going to use it to go to the gym and get a workout in. If I had gone hiking, I would not have made the gym. I didn't make the gym yesterday because I had to go to the business Costco. That would have left tomorrow as my only gym day this week. So I think my reasoning is sound and I'm still doing something. 

Okay, I'm off to go workout.

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.
