So I had a humbling experience last night. I have decided to get serious about running again and have been going to the gym and running on the treadmill. Last night I decided to run on the treadmill in the cinema room. For those who don't know what the cinema room is, it is a very dark room with a ton of treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes. You can work out while watching a movie on a big screen. It is very dark and very loud in there. So... I chose my treadmill that I want to do my work out on and I get on it and it doesn't work. So I hop off and go to the next one. I step on the treadmill and immediately my feet fly out from under me and I land on all fours on the treadmill and then am immediately ejected off onto the floor. I sat there stunned for a minute wondering what the H-E-double hockey sticks just happened. It seems the girl that was on it before me failed to hit the stop button when she was done and seeing how it is pitch black in there, I could not tell that it was still on. I think I about gave the lady next to me a heart attack. She was just as shocked as I was. Luckily I lived and came out of it with minor scrapes on my knees. I just got up, had a good laugh, and worked off my embarrassment and frustration.
So people when you are at the gym... PLEASE turn of the treadmill when you are done using it. And in the future I will now be sure to watch my step before stepping on any excersise equipment. Hope you have a good laugh and a good day!
