and then I fell off the treadmill

Posted by oddlyoptimistic under: Uncategorized.

Oh man. That was one of the more embarrassing moments of my life.
I was running, feeling good. All of a sudden, I felt myself slipping. I was hanging on to the two sides but I couldn’t reach to pull the Emergency stop thing.
So I knew it was going to hurt like insanity…and I let go.
I let go and fell off the treadmill. But definitely not before I burned the skin of several parts of my shins and calves.
Fun times.
I think I’m going to move to the track. I live in Southern California.
The weather’s nice.

I’ve done that too. I was trying to go around a cleaning person at the gym and misjudged my step. I stepped onto a treadmill that was still moving. I slipped and broke my fingernail. :)
