Pumps, Ladders and Football!

Gullane Scottish Fire Services College.Week 3 is complete and I am only slightly less knackered than I was last week.
This was a really fun week combining both ladder and pump drills, I won't say that there weren't times in the week when I wasn't sure I had the stamina to get to Friday but one day at a time the week flew in! While the lads in the squad make the ladders look light I have seriously sore muscles from the lifting and pitching the 13.5m ladder- although as the week progressed I think they were getting lighter!? (I managed a couple of cold showers Davie!) 13.5m ladder

Next week my squad is onto BA...Breathing Ap, can't wait!

And so another weekend reminding the kids who I am. And hopefully a more substantial run to follow tomorrow!



Can't have been too bad though as I made it to circuits session on Monday night, ran Tuesday and Wednesday 3.25m each evening..(well I used to call it a warm up/recovery jog but hey ho) and get this...I played five aside on Thursday with the rest of my squad. I wasn't as absolutely hopeless as I thought I might be and I have a new insight into what my two boys like about kicking a ball around a field for now! Life is one big learning experience.
