Yeah, I'm now officially a Cara and Brett fan (new BL trainers). Of course, I love any workouts that involve punching (It's a joke my Hubby started, but true)...lol.

Thanks again, so much. Great idea about linking the articles in the blog. Thanks for putting together the links; I went ahead and updated it. BTW, I love you new profile pic. It makes the perfect statement about this journey. Very motivating.
Just thought I'd group these together. (For those that don't know, it might be good to link the articles from the blog, Ryan...if you want to.)

Hi everyone! Today is my first day on Spark and I'm in awe and humbled by all the response. You all are too great. I really love and appreciate the support you have. Thank you, from the bottom of my perfectly healthy, but now battery backed up, heart. lol
I just posted a blog about my experience. What is also ironic, which I've seen too much of to call it that right now, but the Daily Spark today is about how CPR can save someone's life! Compression only CPR is what the Daily Spark talked about and I believe that is what the firefighter was doing. lol, my ribs STILL hurt today, but not nearly as much.

I'm definitely in awe. I'd have to say that God had it all set up to save his life. Everything was lined up perfectly--the firefighter was directly behind him!

I checked on him via FB. he went home from the hospital a few days ago. Said he was feeling stronger every day, and thank you to everyone who is sending prayers, thoughts, positive vibes for him.

comment below the article: " I saw this and was amazed. They hit the guy in the chest with a fire extinguisher and he started breathing again. Awesome! "
Really? wow.

Here's his sparkpage for those that want to leave encouragement and well-wishes there. It might be a while until he reads them, but I'm sure they'd be a blessing.
