Treadmill Scare

This week I've been extremely busy with work and getting home late so it only allows me to run on the treadmill at the gym. Tonight is my night off but the past two days I've been doing 4 miles a day per my schedule.

Normally I wouldn't have much to write about in terms of how my treadmill run went but I did have an interesting scare while running on the treadmill last night.

I jumped on a treadmill like I normally do at the gym and started running. As I continue my run I try to speed up along the way. Around the 3rd mile I was going at around a 7 1/2 minute mile pace when all of a sudden...the treadmill blew a fuse and completely shut down.

I wish someone could have been filming me since it looked very funny as the treadmill came to a complete stop in two seconds as my legs continued to propel me forward running right into the treadmill.

I received some strange looks from the runners beside me on other treadmills since I don't think they saw that my treadmill had suddenly stopped. I preceded to jump on another treadmill and finish my last minute to hit my 4 mile goal.

I found the below clip that I thought was funny. It is a clip of a Muslim guy who has never been on a treadmill. His friend keeps turning up the speed and he tries to keep running as fast as he can while screaming the entire time. Too bad he didn't realize he could just hit a button to stop it instead of fearing for his life...
