...that when you stop running on a dreadmill the world keeps moving. Tongue

What a bizarre sensation--kind of like getting off of a boat onto stable ground.

Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Heather said it happens to her, too, so Tongue

I think it's probably an inner ear issue at play. I can't do roller-coasters that go upside-down and have been told to forget ever trying SCUBA diving, as well.

That's odd - I've not experienced that when I run on the treadmill. I do sort of feel like that when I get off the elliptical though.

Bring it on.

Heather said she was fine until her roller coaster ride. Maybe tapping is illegal for a reason.

And maybe there's no peace in this world, for us or for anyone else, I don't know. But I do know that, as long as we live, we must remain true to ourselves. - Spartacus

Yup, happens to me every time, but I haven't used one in quite a while.

That's the treadmill returning your soul to your body. I like how you can't feel your legs very well for a while either, and everything gets springy.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way. - Mitch Hedberg

I didn't feel the springy leg thing, but I DID feel like I was gonna hurl for a minute or two. Tongue

That's just the equal-but-opposite reaction to your soul returning to your body. Even Steven, yo.

This only happens to me when I hit the "emergency stop" button by accident or fall off the end. Which was it, zoomy? Tongue

PS: Roller coasters are AWESOME.

Ha...neither....I slowed down, then walked for 3 minutes to bring my HR down (using the little hand-grip thingies) to a more reasonable level. My average pace seemed to be in the 145-150 range, then I picked up the pace for a mile or so and saw 160. I imagine the decongestants I'm on and mild bug I'm still battling skew the #s, though.
