Wipe Out!!

It has been storming for over a week now and I have been using that as an excuse not to run. Today, however, I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. I've done this before, but you would never be able to tell.

About 30 minutes into my 45 minute run, I tripped on my shoelace and fell. Not just a little fall, a huge loud fall causing everyone in the cardio room to look at me. I did get up to finish the workout scraped knee, bumped chin, slight pain in my elbow, and a serious bruise to my ego :-). I should have known, I trip all the time in these shoes. The laces are sooo long!

Oh well, I'm going to attempt 60 minutes tomorrow as long as it doesn't rain. I will probably run less if I have to run on the treadmill again :-(. The weather man promises Monday to be a beautiful day... I hope he's right.

Average Pace:
7.5-8.5 miles per hour on the treadmill.
Number of Intervals: 43 minutes
Aches and Pains: all pains are related to my spill
Breakthroughs: tie your shoes real good :-)
Age of Shoes: about 2 months

Yeah, EVERYONE asked. I felt like one of the guys on that insurance commercial who gets hurt in someway then stand up and say "I'm good"!! :-)
