Each day we are tested. We are tested in ways that most cannot even begin to understand. Sometimes that test comes in the form of a mentally draining call. Sometimes the test comes in the form of a physically demanding day. Regardless, the ability to prepare for that test starts with our ability to prepare. Preparation means more than being rested and having our gear in place, it comes in the form of checking our mental health each morning, nutrition and being physically capable to manage the days events. The people that call 9-1-1 are those that we are here for. They are the ones that we prepare for. As the elements of the year change, we need to ensure we have trained in the environments, eaten a healthy meal and maintained our hydration for when the community calls us to respond. We ensure our gear is checked and ready as well as we have run scenarios to reduce those seconds that matter from our response. We ensure our fitness levels are unmatched to be able to push beyond our own limits when the times come. Every day is an opportunity to be better than the day before. Hold onto that thought and challenge yourself to a workout, a nutritious meal and training that makes you better.

He runs his mouth way too much. But I admire what he does when no one is looking. Put in the work!
