Belt and Count

I woke up, had a quick coffee, and it was straight on the treadmill. I had had a late night at work and then meeting with friends.

There was no time to lose and right off the start, it was a quick pace on the treadmill.

I counted the numbers just saying them rhythmically, in my mind and rolling the numbers in my mouth. Seven hundred or eight hundred counts later I was about eighteen minutes in. So I did it again until I got tired of it.

It’s surprising how tough it is to say consecutive numbers and not be distracted – at least it was for me – and definitely on the treadmill.

That’s why I can’t be sure to what number I counted to. I’m not sure that there was a point to it at all other than just doing something alongside the run.
