Let me preface by saying … yes, this is a true story, and yes it happened to me yesterday….
I was in my basement yesterday, leisurely walking on the treadmill going around 3.0 for a 20 minute mile…. I had finished a chapter of a book I was reading and did not want to start another chapter yet. My mind was wandering the last few minutes of my routine...
I started thinking.. hmmmm … wonder if I can walk backward on this and help exercise different muscles… I’ve seen it done on Biggest Loser… so why not try it?
There was a flaw in my thinking….
Rather than take the time to turn off the treadmill and start slow, I simply turned myself around using the runners on the side… I stepped on the treadmill … still going at 3.0
Before I knew it I was flying off into a bunch of boxes piled behind my treadmill…
All I could do was lay there and laugh at my stupidity! Next time, I think I will do things a little differently...
