Today was *almost* the day I had an epic, calamitous treadmill fail.
The television screen mounted on the wall in front of my treadmill was on an endless infomercial loop - after the 5th cycle of the same terrible advert - I decided to grab the remote, one treadmill over, to change the channel. Simple enough. But as I grabbed the remote my right foot got stuck on the still part of the treadmill leaving my left foot to run solo — which generally speaking doesn't work so well. Laws of gravity and all that. Luckily for me, my body intervened (independent of my brain) prioritizing being upright and whole-boned, over visually bored.
The remote dropped to the treadmill and flew off the back end.
The infomercial looped for the duration of my workout.
And I live to walk/run another day.
Another reminder that there are a few activities one should do sans multi-tasking .gif "Say What?")
..simultaneous use of electric tooth brush and hair drier is another. that one never ends well either...
