A bunch of us are tapering for the Glass City Marathon in Toledo, Ohio this Sunday. FF Hackenburg is running the full marathon in gear and a pack while most of our First Due Racing team is running the half marathon.

Part of the motivation for the PD guys is when firefighters take off running first while carrying a box of donuts and on the flip side the PD guys put recliners at the finish line for us firefighters. All kidding aside; I hope you find some motivation in the new logo.

There is no way one training site, blog, or company can cover it all. Get on Facebook, Twitter, a blog, a website, or all of the above for a training idea to prevent A.I.R. (ass in recliner) syndrome.

There are three separate parts to this post, but lots of good stuff to think about.

Some of the events up and coming that we are participating in for a variety of reasons. Some in memory, some to build the team, and others for charity. In each, firefighter fitness is involved.

Let me first start this post out with a question...Have you ever stretched before a fire department training as a group? Prior to this past Saturday, my answer would have been, NO.
