Overcoming challenges at work

Worked 24 hours at Humble FD

The North Harris county area received a pleasant amount of rain over several hours this morning.

I visited a new local “functional fitness gym” in Humble. The owner was cool and I think I will give this place a try, starting tomorrow.

It’s been a crappy day. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been in a foul mood, which is somewhat contagious.

I forgot my gym bag at home. Luckily, a good friend retrieved the bag from my house and brought it to work for me. Once I got my running clothes, I ran around the area of station two, which no one has ever done. The area isn’t the best, forcing most firefighters to run at station one. Half way into the run I received an EMS call. I continued the run once the call was completed.

I was eager to make my minimum 1,500 kcal burn, but we got another EMS call. I managed to finish my run and walk for a total of 60-minutes. My total burn was -150 kcals short of the minimum goal. It’s close to midnight and there's no way to make the goal.
