Can't do two things at once? FOCUS

I woke up this morning thinking about my blog. As if fate was hearing my thoughts something amazing happened.

I went to the gym, like I do every Wednesday morning because it is usually quiet. (Love getting on a machine right away and not having to wait) I decided to do a little jogging since all the treadmills in the back row were empty. About five minutes into my workout, a gentleman decides to use the treadmill to my right. There were many machines open, I hate that he chose the one directly next to me. However, I shrugged it off and kept doing my thing. Exactly two minutes later, he started talking on his cell phone. He was extremely loud and it annoyed me. I turned my iPod sound all the way up and still could hear his rants about his job. I was very irritated.

I was about to quit my running and go on another machine when luck had my back. He was too focused on talking and I guess was not aware that his shoe lace was untied. He then tripped and fell on the treadmill. As he rolled off the machine, I couldn’t help but smile to myself. I quickly stopped my machine and asked if he was alright. Wiping his bloody nose he responded, “Yes, Thank you.” He then walked away.

Here’s to you, Mr. Let Me Talk on My Cell Phone While Running Guy, GET OF YOUR PHONE AND FOCUS!
