When I'm forging through another miserable mile, nothing like a pissed off LP puts a little sunshine in my soul.<br /><br />Your wife's treadmill must have sent mine a memo. More than an hour into my workout the other day while running 8mph, my treadmill suddenly stopped. Not slowed down gradually... just plain stopped. I lurched forward and had just enough time to grab the handlebars and holler an obscenity, much to the horror of the neighbor children playing in my yard (since I'm still running on my treadmill in the garage, of course).<br /><br />Linkin Park could write a great song about that.Tall Girl Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761665201219457247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-30807912753395237972009-05-15T11:41:00.000-04:002009-05-15T11:41:00.000-04:00So, apparently you were at the gym when this trans...So, apparently you were at the gym when this transpired--- did you act like you knew your wife or ignore her out of embarrasment and shame? (after of course rescuing your mp3 player).<br /><br />At least your wife can operate the treadmill. My husband has no idea how to do this (and in fact he suggests the first and last time he used a treadmill was a few months ago with me present. But after/during the treadmill incident of '08 I quickly started pretending I did not know him). <br /><br />He straddles the two sides of the belt of the treadmill then turns it on. He gets the speed up to 5 mph then leaps onto the treadmill belt holding the railings with a death grip. <br /><br />He runs for about 20 minutes then decides his run is over. Instead of hitting the stop button or slowing the treadmill down, he attempts to hop off with one leg onto each side of the belt straddling it again. <br /><br />This time he is not very successful. Sadly he does not end up flying through the glass partition behind the treadmill (cause that would have been awesome!), he instead gets one leg off but the other leg is still on the moving belt and sort of gets flung to the side. He is jettisoned from the treadmill by doing this really girly pirouette to the one side. Luckily he was not using my Ipod so it was out of danger, but I think some folks thought we were together. <br /><br />I still shudder at the embarrassment and humiliation.Runner Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059758273238421216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-91728285274089921632009-05-15T11:39:00.000-04:002009-05-15T11:39:00.000-04:00I am, quite frankly, surprised this hasn't happene...I am, quite frankly, surprised this hasn't happened to me yet.
