I thought going to the gym was healthy!!

Yesterday, I banged my head on the smith machine, causing me to bitch slap it like a child. Then today, I lost my grip on the bar doing my warm up reps....could it have just fallen to my chest like any norman person? NOoooooo, it somehow managed to land far enough back that it hit me in the face and now I look like I went to the plastic surgeon to have injections make my bottom lip look pouty instead of the gym!!! And to top it all off, on my way to the locker room to see how much damage I had done, I tripped myself up on a pin laying in the middle of the floor and did the stumble, twist, slam into the wall thing, which I am quite sure is reason for the pain I have shooting up the side of hip right now. The benefits my body made the past two days were worse for the wear I think. I have come to grips with being clumbsier than most, but this is rediculous. Next time I go to the gym, I am going to wrap myself in millions of rubber bands and sign in as the Michellin Man.
	2004/03/17, 10:42 AM I thought my wife was the queen. You may have her beat. Over the years my lil klutz love has beaten herself up so much I almost wanna make her wear body armor. I have owned my cabinet shop for 20 years and she isn't allowed past the front door. Spinning carbide blades and my bride make me shudder. -------------- A problem ceases to be such when you can laugh about it. Charlie

Found some warm spots in the snow on a high speed down hill section of track. Took a flying backwards leap and hit my head kinda hard too. My neck is a little sore today. It was a wakeup call for me, glad it happened -------------- "Get everthing you want--just make a little change now"
