Dude, When you get burned by a treadmill it is gross. It is all pussy and stuff.

Dude, it's not legit road rash…and now I'm freaking about having some kind of flesh eating bacteria…that thing is now some kind of infected.

Well, I may have to try out the elliptical…I have to say that I've tried a couple times, but can't get the hang of it….i sit there and just loop them at the bottom. Crazy…but I'm going to have to try it because I'm too uncoordinated on the other thing.

That's some nice road rash you got. I find the eliptical easier in the sence that I don't have to focus on staying centered like I do on the dreadmill.

Tami, wow, that's a momentous day. Very cool that the big guy is going to I-O-W-A! but I can imagine how funny that feels.

Thanks about that pic…we were having fun when Sheryl snapped that one. It was good. The shin…less so.

Steve, I'm deadly afraid of the elliptical machine. If I can do that much damage on the treadmill, I can just imagine what a bad step on that machine would be.

I wish that no one was there to see me grind myself, alas, I was a video camera away from being on YouTube.

Another helpful hint (speaking from personal experience) along with putting the left foot in front of the right…make sure you keep you feet on the moving “belt sander” portion of that particular instrument of pain…the side portions don’t move and stepping on that area will cause you to unexpectedly pitch forward with a grace that is usually reserved for such serious shows such as “America’s Funniest Viedos” and leave you with a reminder as you currently have…luckily I was the only one in the gym at the time so I got savor the embarrassment all to myself…I have since moved to an equally insidious apparatus (the elliptical machine) it has a lower start value for demonstrations of elegance and style but a higher chance of a more perfect execution…I think a fall from the treadmill is a mandatory .8 deduction…

Ouch! The photo of your shin made me shudder! However, the new photo of you and the boys made me smile…what a handsome trio! We're moving the “taller” of our to boys in to the dorm at University of Iowa today..mama bear may have swollen eyes this afternoon!

Pax, that's been my philosophy for a couple of years. I used to be a gym rat in my middle 30s…got some kind of bulked up. Now i'm just bulky. But you're right, you don't lose skin with a vanilla malt.

Frank, this is nature's way of telling you to get off the treadmill and go eat some ice cream! I mean you never hear of someone getting hurt while partaking of a banana split, or sucking down a vanilla milk shake, now do ya???
