Thanks you for the prayers.
We were on the fire line yesterday and around 13:00 the National Gaurd pulled in to help...and they brought rain. As of this morning 2400 acres have burned and the fire is 10% contained. According to our Chief, we held the fire back from the structers and saved more than $12 million dollars of citizens homes.
No pages this morning for mandantory OT. I just got home and I am so tired I barely remember driving this morning. My sinuses are full of soot, my lungs and throat hurt from the smoke and I smell like I've been rolling in a campfire. My husband is relieved I'm home and not in the middle of hell fire anymore, and my dog fell down the steps when I walked through the door because she was so excited to see me.
Thanks for well wishes and prayers...one injury to report from one of our firefighters (busted foot) and hundreds of homes and structures saved. Hard works pays off, but I don't have to tell my fellow powerlifters that...you all know.
My bed is calling my name friends...good night (err...ahh...) morning.

I woke and went to the gym this afternoon...I would normally squat today, but after the past few days I thought my legs could use the rest, so I benched.
Since I feel like ass and my husband is out of town, I didn't go as heavy as I normally would with a spotter.

I really do take great interset in reading your logs. Allot of women should take note to as what you do. You have amazing power. When do you use equipment or do you? If not why?....

Thanks Joey, I'll also take tips When I use my suit and shirt it's when I am training for a meet. I try to keep on a 12 week meet training cycle, although since my strength is staying up and I have been injury free for 5 years, I have been able to do an 8 week meet cycle. I usually get in my equipment the last 4 weeks of my training. I like to keep my raw strength up and my ROM perfect. It helps with work. We have a few high rises in our run area and when we are "packed up", that adds aprx 75 extra pounds. Plus...add in carrying a high rise pack (100 ft of hose) up 5 flights of stairs, it can get taxing. Especially if we get up the steps and have to fight fire. I will say this, I try not to be in the gym more than an hour, if I am I feel like I am wasting time. I don't lift when I am too tired or hurt anywhere. I am firm believer in listening to my body and if it says REST...I do. Cause, if I don't, I'm sure I wouldn't be injury free. Thanks again for the positive feedback!

The important thing is that you did it - that makes you stronger.
