So I guess it turns out that I really do love ice cream. Quite a bit in fact. This does not bode well for the fact that I want to become a Wildland firefighter. I think it will take a bit longer to do the fitness test if I have to carry around my stomach in a wheel barrow. SO this is it, time to give up ice cream. I’m not sure how to accomplish that though as I live right around the corner from a Marble Slab, and who doesn’t love Marble Slab.
I joined the Y a couple of weeks ago and am having an okay time so far. I really like running on their indoor track because of the level of conditioning it has. The running is going well and I think it sometimes feels like I could run forever but that maybe because I get a runners high, I’m not to sure I do know that a bit of delirium sets in for sure. I don’t have a lot of time though to get my but into shape
Here is a video about getting fit for the fitness test
