Ass over tea kettle

Today my fitness regime really took flight.  Over the tail end of the treadmill - YUP!

I had upped the incline, and was hiking along, and thought I could easily walk with my eyes closed.  (These early morning gym sets, ya know...still a bit sleepy.)  And what could go wrong - its not like walking outside where you might run into a pothole or a curb or a spot of ice!

Well, I shot off the back of the treadmill, my eyes flew open, I narrowly missed the stretching machine parked in the way, landed on me arse and gave myself a whiplashing head bang on the thinly carpeted cement floor. Bounced back up, got on the treadmill again, laughing.  "My heart rate's really elevated now", I chortled to the three witnesses of my fall, who were all anxiously inquiring if I was OK.

Could have predicted this after my immense self satisfaction of last week....Mmmmm, just love the taste of that humble pie.

Truly, I haven't enjoyed such a good laugh in ages!  Day 53.  One to remember.

Takeaway wisdom: When you walk with your eyes closed on the treadmill, HANG ON!
