Imagine Jamie cruising along on the treadmill at the gym at 0500 this morning at 8.0 doing intervals, completely oblivious to the world around her...Jamie then decides to monkey with her iPod. Imagine her flying off the treadmill, scrambling to maintain her composure hanging off the side...still yet, the treadmill won- I have the battle scars to prove it!!
I think I scared the crap out of the poor old woman next to me! I was laughing so hard afterwards it was difficult to get back to my interval training- seriously had tears of laughter in my eyes!! I then had a horrible time trying to get through my Bodypump class right after my disastrous fall due to the several missing layers of skin from my knees. Freaking hilarious!! I've been LOL all morning about it!! I wonder if they have security cameras there that may have captured my brief ailment of disequilibrium!?!? I'm serious, serious YouTube material!!
I'm only sharing this you all because I know that you will appreciate the humor of the perils of treadmill training. I will never again make fun of (not that I ever did, OK, maybe chuckled once or twice) someone else falling or (flying in my case) off a treadmill!!
I hope you all enjoy your laugh this morning at my expense- I certainly did!! :-) I'm sure there are many of you out there with stories just like mine, but how many are brave enough to actually admit them and share?? ;-) I'm off to see the safety officer- he's summoned me over for a safety brief!

Haha....I love your blogs about the treadmill. :)
One time I was traveling and using a treadmill at a hotel. I was distracted by something and stepped on the stationary part and ended up flying off and hitting the window behind me. Concerned hotel staff came running. I was laughing so hard I was crying and they thought I was injured instead of just feeling stupid and imagining how funny it must have looked from the outside. :)
So I am with you, running friend! I feel your pain. We'll beat those treadmills yet! :)
