The Good the Bad and the Lack of running.


This week has been a mixed week.

The fourth week of the course, one third of the way through. The good part is the course itself, now into BA it has been a brilliant week, learning all about the apparatus and ending the week participating in search and rescue exercises in synthetic smoke.

The bad part was that one of my squad members broke her hand on Wednesday and is now off the course. It was a bizarre accident, directly after our first ba wear which was pretty strenuous...., she sat down and thought she had staved her thumb....turned out to be much worse, dislocating, fracturing AND breaking her hand! So Bravo squad is feeling the gap, it's amazing how quickly you bond as a group. On the up side, once her hand is healed she will get a place on the next course and will ultimately make a brilliant firefighter, so all is not lost.

And so to running. Having not run on Sunday I only managed the usual wee runs although I did throw in 3 hill reps on Wednesday.

Sat: 4m
Monday:Circuits
Tuesday. 3.25
Wednesday: 4.5m (including hill reps)
Friday:3.1m 26mins
