So, my brain works in weird ways sometimes. Lately I have had a lot of numbers in my head. I look at things and equate them to numbers. I watch the timer on the treadmill as I run, I notice how many seconds/minutes I have been running, how many minutes do I need to still run, I count in patterns to make my run go by more quickly, how many laps have I run, what number of calories have I burned, what number is my heart rate...get the picture?! I do this a lot when I am running and numbers seem to be important. I guess my favorite number this week happens to be 15. Why 15? Well, 15 is the number of weeks I have gone with working out every week! Some weeks I have worked out 6 days a week, 3 miles a day. 1 week I ran 1 time since I was sick, but when I felt better, I got back to exercising! I guess the point is I am totally proud of myself. I am usually an all or nothing type of gal and I have been able to keep up my running whether it was 1 day a week or 6. Hopefully, 15 weeks from now I will update with a 30 week post, but for now I will just focus on the 1 day ahead of me!

I have a strange thing with numbers too, but it's more like remembering a series of numbers... For a long time I could recite the SS# of my father in law (because he used to have it painted on the front of a canoe we paddled around in once - I think he has since painted over it) Strange, I know...
Way to go with the exercising! You are a great motivator...
you're awesome jen. i wish i could say the same thing...
keep up the running and i'll start the biking and maybe in 15 weeks when you tout your 30, i can tout my 15. :)
I am total numbers girls, too. My husband always laughs at me. I pass my time thinking about how many calories-workout calories I'm at, when we'll pay off our house (by doing the math)...I love my treadmill numbers, too--it totally makes me run more and faster, just so I can get the numbers up!
Trent is really into numbers also. Me...nope. Not good at anything having to do with numbers. Infact I can't even remember the pin to my ATM card. I'll have to tell you about it next time I see you. Kind of funny.
Anyway, way to go with your running. You should be proud of yourself. I think starting the habit is the hardest part. Way to go. You are amazing!!!
