Please Practice Safe Exercising

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

--Wayne Dyer

I got sloppy yesterday and ended up injured because of it.

Treadmills seem pretty innocuous, but they can be very dangerous as I have discovered.

I jumped off the treadmill to get my phone, and I thought I had paused it, but I hadn't. Long story short: I jumped back on, lost my balance, and it threw me off.

I landed hard on the small of my back.

Very painful.

I ended up in the emergency room for about five hours.

Soon, I'll write about treadmill safety, but later when I feel better.

Meanwhile, treat the treadmill with GREAT respect.

Not what I planned for today.
