Guess what this is? Go ahead…. guess.

Oh, you’ll never guess… I’ll just tell you as a Tip Of The Day.

You can run on your treadmill while wearing a necklace…
OR
You can run on your treadmill while listening to your iPod…
BUT
You should NOT run while wearing both a necklace and your ear buds.

Just sayin’.

(AND PS: I made it into round 3 of One Month To win It. Mine was the chair re-do.)

    I guess I’m safe. I don’t have a treadmill. I couldn’t run right now if I had to. And I have no earbuds. Makes my life sound boring doesn’t it? But I would love to have seen your result.

    I have had this happen! No fun! I try to remember to take off all my jewelry before running. Sometimes I just forget until half way through.

    Hope you got it untangled ๐Ÿ™‚

    Nice chair–did you use fabric! I think I used the same kind to recover the chair at my craft table. Love it!

    This is good information.

    Now I just need to get on the treadmill. My fat azz would thank me for it. I think I’m going to go on a fast between now and Austin.

    I thought things like this only happened to me! And just so you know, if you stumble while running on your treadmill, you shouldn’t try to stand back up, because you’ll fall again and skin your knee. And you REALLY shouldn’t try to stand up one MORE time, because you’ll fall yet again and skin your other knee. Hypothetically. (Don’t ask me how I know this.)If your treadmill has one of those safety cords that automatically stops the belt if you should fall, you should probably go ahead and clip it to your shirt before you even turn the damned thing on. Allegedly.

    I had three minutes left to look at blogs before I have to actually take a shower (and go to work). Actually, I have an appt for good cabinet estimate this morning, so I should probably not come all sweaty in gym shorts….anywhoo…….THIS IS FREAKIN HILARIOUS. So glad you were my last stop of the day. You never fail to amuse me. Good thing for you that phones are cordless now or you might have a problem talking while emptying the dishwasher ๐Ÿ™‚
