7.5 miles on the treadmill. A woman on the treadmill next to me fainted and got shot off the back of her treadmill and I had to call 911. I thought she was dead the way she literally flopped to the ground. Turns out she was just anorexic and had skipped a couple meals.

Wow! I made it to 40 miles for the week.

I hope she's okay, but I showed this to the Mrs., and she laughed so hard, she made snorting noises.

I'm glad I amused your wife Tom :-)

She spunked up pretty well when they got a juice box in her.

I imagine you called 911 on your cell phone without breaking pace on the treadmill.

I was pretty cranky about having to stop but I thought I'd look pretty self-centered if I kept running. After the whole thing was over, I was thinking about what a bad person I am because it bothered me to stop my run.

Ha Ha. You're killing us over here! Just imagining running next to someone.. "Hi, how ya doing?" Then ZIP, Bang! That person disappears. What the ..?

Funny stuff! I'm glad EMS has juice boxes.

I'll bookmark this entry and add it to my list of why treadmills are dangerous! :-)

Yeah but this proves they are clearly NOT boring - the most common complaint.

Quite the experience and story today! Wow, what a busy week for you.
