Working to gradually (and slowly) increase my pace....

.........running faster than normal (but still very sloooooooooow) and I accidentally hit the emergency stop button on the treadmill. The humiliation!

Unkind thought I know, but what great entertainment for the other gym users! I've seen someone run too slowly and get worked off the end. The ground outside doesn't have an emergency stop button - ah, thinking about it, when I tripped and fell on my face that's about the same!

I put it on here for a bit of entertainment for you all - I don't mind you sniggering! We should never take ourselves too seriously!

Next time wear a tee shirt with 'Treadmill Tester' inscribed on the back. Follow up the fall, with a clear shout 'Well I am glad this emergency stop button works' - no-one will be the wiser...

I used a new T shirt at Parkrun on Saturday ... says "OK OK OK I will run" on the front and "but I will grumble all the time" on the back

Love that idea, as anyone behind you, as you sprint to the end, will never realise what you're grumbling at

Nobody will ever see the back of my T Shirt!

That's because you will always be a blur in the distance 👍
