how not to use a treadmill

[sonicsonal]

Well here's a laugh for you all.
I went to buy a new pair of running shoes yesterday at the 'Run 4 it' shop in Lothian Road.
You get to try out you new shoes on the treadmill in the shop.
Well I was doing fine until the member of staff pressed the stop button to bring the machine to a gradual halt. But did I not misjudge when to stop running and fell off the machine.
Landed half on/ half off with my arse in the air.
Was there anyone else in the shop I hear you ask. thankfully not, except the staff!!
Needless to say I couldn't get out of there quick enough.

Any way Good Luck to Squirrelhunter who is running the Glasgow Fresh ' n' Low 10k on Sunday!!

[sonicsonal]

Hoping to do the Linlithgow 10k on 21st of this month.

Your not looking for a job with Billy Smart are you? Those running shoes weren't the very long comedy outsize variety?




;D

very funny, i now have image of Sandra with comedy shoes on the treadmill

[sonicsonal]

I'm sure Muz had me dressed in the whole outfit with the make-up!!!

No Marathons for me, 10K is the limit.

I went to sign on this lunchtime, the person that signs me doesn't really pay attention, I don't think i've had eye contact with her in the few times I've been, she'd rather have a conversation with her computer.
Although I'm sure the conversation is really for me.
I have this great idea of running up to the jobcentre one dayand dripping sweatily all over her desk.
As if she'd notice!!

[FireFox]

Hey, maybe you should wear the shoes and makeup, with a big red nose. Thats terrible though, probably jealous of all your money!

Sandra, that is so funny about the treadmill - as long as you didn't hurt yourself. Maybe you should give your signer - on woman a few tips in customer service and yes - defo go in dripping sweat over her desk. See if she notices!

Your signing on lady is possibly squirming at the thought that she could be next on the other side of the counter. Bad patter though.

Good luck to Squirrelhunter for Sunday xx

I phone JobcentrePlus today, got really nice girl. She was shocked when I told her the money I got. Not really looking forward to actually going into sign on though.

[sonicsonal]

thanks K, I thought you'd appreciate it, since you've been there yourself- that's to get new running shoes- not fall off the treadmill!!
The only thing hurt was my pride.

How was the Glasgow 10k run? It must have been tough with these strong winds and all the rain.

[FireFox]

Yeah how was the 10K?
