Actual Workout: 20 minute run/walk
I did do some running today... about 8 minutes of it. Then my lungs began to burn and I decided walking would be the way to go today. I am feeling better though.
Now what I would really like to discuss. Something I saw on The Today Show this morning: NYFFs (New York Fire Fighters). There were about half a dozen or so on the show promoting their calender. And the were Smokin' (please forgive the pun.) They all looked like newbies though (5 or 6 years on or less,)
When most women think of firefighters this is what they think of:

However, as a wife of a volunteer firefighter for several years( according to the NFPA, 70% of firefighters are volunteer, fyi), I can assure you that most firefighters look like this:

That's right. Awesome huh? Full time EMS is about the same (with more females).
I remember being told once how lucky I must be to get to "hang out" at the fire station. LOL... the pic directly above comes to mind.
Now girls, don't get me wrong, there are some "Hotties" out there. But don't think that great bodies = coolness either. Sometimes the greatest looking ones are the dorkiest ones.
On the flip side, generally firefighters are the sweetest guys I have met (to females, guests, and children anyway.) And if you go to their station on a slow day, they will gladly entertain you until it is chow time or they get a call.
