Well. It has been a slow week. We have had 1 run since last monday. That one run was "Typhoid Mary" as we like to call her. We get there and she tells us that she is nauseus. It turns out she has MRSA, Hep. A,B,C. Of course she doesn't tell us any of this stuff until we have been there for about 10 minutes. We had been there about 30 seconds when I started getting back ground info, I specifically asked if there were any illness', infections, or diseases that she had. She said "I don't have anything. I am healthy." OY!!! Stupid people annoy the living heck out of me.
Not much else happening. I have been running between 3 and 3.5 miles a day. I am kind of in a bit of a rut. Between not a lot of free time and being really tired from work, it is tough to go the distance. I am making more time minute by minute.
Well BE SAFE!!!!!
TTFN.

Here is a pic of the new tattoo.

Hey Everybody!!!!!!! Well I know that I haven't written in a while but I have been really really busy. We had a benefit pancake breakfast to raise money for the families of the officers that were shot. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. We raises almost 8,000 dollars. It was awesome. There were literally people lined up around the building. It was a great display of community support for the officers and their families.

We haven't had a lot of runs lately. I guess that is a good thing. The few runs we have had all ended well. Except for a lady who refused treatment for her toddler son when they had been in a car accident and he hit his head because the car seat wasn't properly installed. The kid had a largecontusion mid-line forehead, nose bleed, and complained of neck pain. Maybe it was nothing, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Stupid people piss me off. Anyhow...... I taught extrication for the monday night training. It went really well. Everone enjoyed the presentation. next monday we are going to be cutting on some cars. we are going to go over some basic technique and some new ideas.

I have decided to train for a half marathon in january or early february. I know that is a while off but I am going to start training now. I can do a half in early 2008 and hopefully work up to a full by the end of 2008.

Also I have a new tattoo. It goes from shoulder to the other and it says " Sic Alius May Ago"
it means - So Others May Live. It is why we (firefighters) do what we do. Anyway i will post some pics soon.
Be Safe. TTFN!!
