Thursday.......we had a tractor overturned in a creek on fire 3/4 of a mile in the woods. So this tractor is upside down on fire leaking oil, diesel, and hydraulic fluid. We had the fire out in about 5 minutes. It was roaring good, the fire burned leaves off a tree about 40 feet up. No it wasn't just the heat, the flames were actually that high. After we had the fire out we spent the next 4 hours skiming the various hazerdous liquids off of/out of the creek. Lots of fun.Not! not to mention the fact that my Engine was 3/4 of a mile back in the woods on a gravel/dirt road not nearly as wide as the Engine.
We had just cleared the run when we got knocked out on a med run. It was a frequent flyer who has MRSA (A contagious staph infection). She was having difficulty breathing. It wasn't too bad. The ambulance was there pretty quick and she was on her way.

Well.........I am trying to decide beteen 2 races. One is at the end of June and the other is a week later in July. One is a 10k and the other is a 5k. I have never run a 10k so i would like to trybut i am really doing good on my 5k times and i would like to try to win my age group in the 5k. Who Knows. I ran a 4 miler on Thursday and I ran 6 miles on Friday.
Thats all the news to print for now.
TTFN!!!
