I did two hours and fifteen minutes on the Arc Trainer, Interval, Level 7. I watched "Catfish" and the second half of the Real Housewives trip to Canada.

While I was on the Arc Trainer, I saw a woman running on a treadmill (fast pace, very fit woman). Then the unthinkable happened. She slipped and fell on the treadmill! It was quite horrifying to watch. She was on her knees and the treadmill was still going full speed, kind of like watching a factory accident. The people by her stopped their machines right away and helped her. She kept assuring people she was fine and just needed to go (what we all do in an accident when we're shocked and embarrassed and probably are not fine physically or mentally!). I thought about how important it is to use that "stop" clip when running on a treadmill.

Then I did 45 minutes of weight lifting, stretching, yoga, and abs. It's great to feel all the tension leave my body during these exercises that involve a lot of prolonged flexing and bending.
