word to the wise....

It is wise when running on a treadmill to not bend down and save the ipod that is flying toward your feet. I learned this yesterday in my almost first treadmill accident.

I was just running along and some how hit the cord to my headphones. Of course, this sent the ipod flying toward my feet. Luckily, my ipod is in a case and it did not get hurt in this event. But instinctively, when it went flying toward my feet, I tried to bend down and get it without getting off the treadmill first. You know how people always say "it happened so fast" well it did and the thought to jump off didn't fit in the small amount of time. I am very glad that the treadmill has handles, otherwise, I may have road rash on my face. And I have to say that I was glad at the time that Doug was not home to see or hear this craziness that seemed to be happening.

All and all everything turned out fine. I managed to get off the treadmill, not really by my own choice, and the ipod landed on the dog bed next to me and still works. But I thought I would share my funny story from yesterday and maybe make you smile today!
