today's cool moment
i was at the gym and had just finished an exhaustive journey-to-nowhere on the treadmill. instead of doing the automatic 5-min. cooldown, i hopped up and put my feet on the stationary base of the treadmill and wrote the stats in my little book (it's a good idea! keep track of what you do/how much ya bench, etc.).
when i finished writing, i stepped back onto the machine, in "the machine is off and i intend to dismount" mode. remember, the machine was under the impression i was doing a cooldown, so the ramp was still moving at 4.0 mph. so, with five (more?) rows of occupied machines behind me, i fell. or, better said, was tossed off the treadmill and landed on the floor.
ow.
