Day of rest

I have been exercising a lot lately.

I'm taking today off from the gym because I'm tired.

Monday I went back to derby. I was sore afterwards but i was only skating an hour.

Tuesday I went to the park with the puppies and ran (literally ran around the park) with them. It was cute they were no sure of the other dogs and stuck close to Sal and I. I had to run and have the dogs chase me to get them to run. I also had to throw the ball to get them to socialize.

Wednesday I did 30 minutes on the elipical machine and worked on my abs and back. Then went home and clean the kitchen. I scrubbed my sink and every dish in it. I missed derby practice because of my CEU class for my EMT.

I had a flare that night from my fibromyalgia. I have been on my pain killers since.

Thursday I did too much. I went to the firehouse gym again and well as other things.

At the fire house I did 20 minute worth of sprints on the elipical machine. Three sets of eight on the ab, back and shoulder machines with increased weight. Then I was off to a strength test for a job I'm applying for.

At the interview, I was tested for mental alertness, Then strength test. I had to use a manual strecther and stair chair to carry a 250 lb man. The stretcher wasn't too bad, but most of the equiptment was broken. Release latch on the top of the stretcher was broken and so was the latch for the stretcher to lock it into the ambulance. The stair chair was nothing I have every seen before. To Describe it... It was an aluminmum lawnchair with attached sticks. There were no tracks. No assistance. I almost dropped the "patient" twice. My hand couldn't hold on. I kept resting the posts on the top of my legs and now I have pretty bruises.

After the testing, I ran home and picked up my sons and husband.

We then went up to the Chestnut Run Plaza to load the Trucks for my oldest sons robotics competion.

I returned home to cook dinner, feed the dogs, and clean the kitchen.

I think I may change the name of this blog.
