The first time I went to the gym was on Saturday the 7th of April. We worked my legs and core. My legs were sore the next day. I spent about 30 minutes doing cardio also.
On April 9th, I went to the gym and I worked on my cardio for about 30 minutes.
On April 11th, I went to the gym and worked on my arms. The exercises I did was shoulder press, Arnold press, and dips. I did three sets of each. I did ten reps with the with ten pound free weights for the Arnold press. Twenty reps of dips. Twenty reps with five pounds on shoulder press. I also did the fun ropes for three sets a minute each.
This is hard work! On the third set of shoulder presses, my body was starting to fatigue around rep 13. I wanted to give up but I couldn't. I pushed through the pain so I can get my drink of water. After the set I had this overwhelming rush of emotion. I almost broke down crying because I finished the set with a sense of accomplishment. After the workout I did 25 minutes of cardio.
It's funny, when I go to the gym I get nervous but when I'm there, I'm fine. When my trainer comes gets me for my work out, I feel a little nervous but I am fine after awhile. He kicks my butt! In the end it's all worth it. I get a high when I'm done working out and it's the best feeling.
On Tuesday 21st June 2022, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service hosted Exercise Mitchell, a large-scale training exercise at their Bury Training and Safety Centre.
The exercise focused on testing the multi-agency operational response to a CBRNE incident by working with partners and volunteers.
Volunteers were on hand to play the part of casualties following a chemical incident on a tram. Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Transport for Greater Manchester (TFfG) and other partners responded to the incident.
The exercise commenced with joint working between emergency service control rooms in the early stages of the incident, with several calls being made on 999 calls reporting an incident had occurred on the tram.
It took the form of a multi-agency response to the incident in the morning, working with GMP and NWAS. Later in the afternoon crews also set up and tested the Mass Decontamination Unit, helping volunteers through the process.
This training helps to reinforce understanding of different agencies roles and responsibilities during the response to such an incident and validate learning from the response to previous Major Incidents in Greater Manchester. The exercise also reinforced JESIP principles and procedures to help embed multi-agency working amongst Greater Manchester and regional partners.
Further elements of the exercise will take place later in the year, focusing on the Strategic Coordinating Group (SCG) and Tactical Coordinating Group (TCG) elements of a Major Incident.
The overall exercise helped to test the multi-agency response at the Strategic, Tactical and Operational levels including looking at the operational response, Local Resilience Forum procedures and interoperability between organisations.

A Ricard bottle.
Strobist: 1 x SB-24 @ 1/8th w/ 2 x CTB + snoot to background. 1 x Leather jacket hung over chair to flag it. 1 x Sigma EF 500 DG @ 1/128 + snoot to catch the logo.
The snoot for the Sigma was bent and taped to leave a very small, narrow opening.
This is one of those places you can stop during your run to do pushups and pullups and situps and all kinds of other ups. Except it's sorta falling apart, but my son insisted we stop here so he could play.
Was using this Jfit Large exercise ball as my computer chair for a couple days, i'm not even 190lbs and it just exploded with me on it. I ended up on my back i'm ok but that was friggin loco loud, scary and kind of funny. Now where's my lawyers number?
Members of the 5th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (5CRPG) and soldiers from The Royal Newfoundland Regiment explored some of Newfoundland's most remote and rugged territory September 5 to 10 when they conducted a sovereignty patrol across Newfoundland’s Northern Peninsula.
The patrol, called Exercise LONG STRIDE, gave 5CRPG better awareness and navigational knowledge of the remote inland routes on the peninsula. The 13 members on the patrol set out from Jackson's Arm, travelling by long liner to the abandoned outport of Great Harbour Deep. From there, they hiked 62 kilometres overland across the Long Range Mountains to Hawke's Bay on the far side of the peninsula. The trek took five days and followed the historic route once used to connect the coastal communities.

Du 5 au 10 septembre, des membres du 5e Groupe de patrouille des Rangers canadiens (5 GPRC) et des soldats du Royal Newfoundland Regiment ont exploré l’une des régions les plus éloignées et accidentées de TerreNeuve et Labrador lorsqu’ils ont effectué une patrouille d’affirmation de la souveraineté à travers la péninsule Northern de TerreNeuve et Labrador.
Cette patrouille, qui portait le nom d’exercice LONG STRIDE, a permis au 5 GPRC d’acquérir une meilleure connaissance des routes de l’arrière pays de la péninsule et de pouvoir mieux s’orienter dans cette région. Les patrouilleurs ont quitté Jackson's Arm à bord d’un palangrier et se sont rendus jusqu’à l’avantport abandonné de Great Harbour Deep. De là, ils ont marché 62 kilomètres à travers les monts Long Range jusqu’à Hawke’s Bay, située en aval de la péninsule. Durant leur périple de quatre jours, ils ont emprunté l’ancienne route qui reliait autrefois les communautés côtières.

1st MSC hosts mobilization readiness exercise
Camp Santiago, Salinas: Soldiers of the 1st Mission Support Command's Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment hosted a mobilization readiness exercise at Camp Santiago, P.R., 14-27 March.
During the event, HHD Soldiers completed readiness checks for over 1,000 Soldiers. Events such as this are commonly held annually to ensure that commanders can maintain their unit readiness.
"We try to do this as the units get closer to their available year in order to have them improve their overall readiness and mobilization posture in the event they get selected (for mobilization) down the road", said Gerardo Rodriguez, mobilization officer for the 1st MSC.
Rodriguez said MRXs help units maintain readiness for deployments but they also serve the individual Soldier.
"As part of the MRX ... there are different stations and one of them, one of the most important, is medical. A Soldier is completely checked and whatever cannot be fixed at this location ... the Soldier can go to a private (medical) provider and get that situation fixed and that helps them with their overall readiness",he said.
Soldiers rotate through eleven different stations in total where they are checked in by HHD Soldiers and efficiently move through the station. While the process has been refined over the years at times people still tend to get impatient.
Staff Sgt. Anaselly Ramos, logistics noncommissioned officer with the mobilization team, know the experience can be stressful but to help keep the level of frustration down she leads groups of Soldiers through stations when she sees openings. While each group of Soldiers is instructed to follow the schedule given to them for the MRX, Ramos' method keeps things moving along too.
Keeping track of the entire flow of Soldier traffic is a system called the mobilization plan data viewer.
"It shows all the stations and actually it runs the SRP (MRX) completely", said Spc. Hector Rodriguez, from Bayamon.
"It's tracking each Soldier by station ... you can see how many have completed (the stations) and how many have not",added Rodriguez, who is assigned to the 311th Quartermaster Company.
While the process can be tedious for the Soldiers going from station to station, one Soldier working at the medical readiness station found the MRX to be an opportunity to challenge herself by practicing her public speaking skills.
Spc. Jenniffer Gonzalez Diaz, a traffic management coordinator, who's primary language is Spanish, began giving the medical station briefings to many groups of Soldiers. Gonzalez admits that speaking English is not one of her strengths but her determination brought her recognition among her peers and even the Commanding General of the 1st MSC Brig. Gen. Fernando Fernandez.
"They gave me the opportunity to participate in this activity so I can ... help them in the system with the Soldiers, and I practiced a lot my English",said Gonzalez.
As a member of the the 390th Seaport Company, in Ceiba, Gonzalez recognizes the importance of refining her English language skills. When given the opportunity to refine her abilities when she signed up for the Army, Gonzalez participated in English language courses.
"I improved my English, I practiced my English when I took the class but I knew a little bit of the language because we are Puerto Rico and we are bilingual so we took classes when we started in (grade) school", said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez knows this isn't the only challenge she'll have to overcome in her military career, which is why she stays motivated and maintains a positive attitude.
"The important thing for me is to show people that you are trying, don't get upset, don't get mad if someone corrects you because they are helping you",she said. "If you don't know, ask, so you can learn ... the stuff you learn nobody can take away."
