Total Distance
4.30

Training plan said 4 today.  I was going to do more, but I ended up close to home around mile 4, and it had started to rain/downpour, so I finished up.

For reasons I don't understand, I started counting my breaths.  I realized I was doing it around #30, and I just kept counting the whole time.  I am pretty sure I lost count when it got up high, but I ended up around 1400.  I don't know why I was doing it, but once I started, I couldn't stop.  I don't think I'm going to try that again any time soon.  Time for the mp3 player I guess.

Times started slow at 10:40, then 9:48, then 9:06, then 8 something...

I always get confused if I try to count that high. I really don't think I could do it while running. I put myself to sleep at night by counting. Not counting sheep. Just counting.

Sounds like an mp3 player would be a good thing. Sometimes I have tried counting my steps while running but I loose count quickly, I don't think I could get up to 1400.

I count random things for some unknown reason as well - must be genetic. I usually force myself to stop by mixing up the numbers until my brain forgets enough to stop.

Glad you got out of the downpour! Nice run - as always :)
