Ran on the treadmill today at school. All was going well and I was running decent until the end. I turned it up the speed and was going 12.5 miles per hour for the last .3 miles. The treadmill wasn't turning down so I jumped off to the sides the slow it down. It said it was cooling down so I stepped back on it thinking it was going slow and it was still at 12.5 miles per hour. It knocked me to my knees and I could instantly feel my skin go by by. I felt myself getting pulled toward my face, and not wanting to eat the treadmill I put my left hand down to flip myself to my back. It worked and I flipped to my back and shot off the treadmill, but not before I got my hand jacked too. The whole thing probably took just over a second, but I didn't end up too well. I have two melted skin blisters about the size of a nickle on my hand, and both knees have two abrasions each about the size of silver dollars. My shin got melted a little bit. It was totally my fault, but another reason I have never been a big fan of the treadmill. The knees will be messed up for some time I am afraid, they are still oozing. The worst was when I took soap and scrubbed out my wounds, ouch! 6 miles in 41:11
