...FiReFiGhTeRs rOcK!...


My friend, J is a firefighter...NO...this is not a picture of him...or any of the other firefighters I know!  But, I figure..hey!  nothin wrong with adding a little "eye candy" to today's post!   Anyways...lots of the fireman in town...especially the ones from the station right down the street come in and either participate in group training or join me and J occasionally for an impromptu workout.  They are all such great guys and I really like them all.  The "class" that I am now in charge of has 2 firefighters in it...L and B.  

Normally, we meet at 8:30 for this "class", but L had somewhere he needed to be and so we moved it down a couple of hours.  Once I dropped my oldest daughter off at school, I decided to just go to the gym and get my workout in before they got there.  I chose a workout off the Navy SEALS site.  It looked long and hard, but I had an hour and a half so I got busy.  It was as brutal as I expected...maybe more...but I finished it and collapsed on the floor in my usual sweaty...pained state after a workout such as this one.  I was SO hot!  My face was beat red and I was breathing heavy!  Not more than a couple of minutes later...I became cold...very cold.  "This is strange!", I thought.  Even my hands were cold!  I got up feeling really dizzy and went over to the couch to lay down and eat a Zone bar.  I had been there for about 10 minutes when L arrived.  I guess I looked crazy, because he immediately said, "What's wrong?".  I told him how I was feeling and sat up and touched him with my ice cold hands to show him what I was talking about.  He said "Lay down.  Put your feet up."  I went to lay back down where I had been and he said, "No.  Lay on the floor and put your feet up on the couch."  I did.  Soon...probably 5 minutes later...I was starting to feel more normal...and within 10 minutes, I was just fine and I was able to cover my class without any trouble.

I sure am glad that L came in and told me what to do.  How lucky am I?  I had a paramedic/fireman right there to "save the day"...just when I needed it!..and that's why I say...
"Firefighters ROCK!!!"  
Thanks L!
Sorry! I couldn't resist adding JUST one more little "treat"! ;D
