A little "yay" moment

[Brought to me by my Brother-In-Law "Buff".]

For being a runner, I suck at the numbers "thing".  I do not enjoy number crunching.  [pace, distance, heart rate, VO2, blah, blah, blah..] 

I run. 

I love to run. 

While I do enjoy seeing the numbers on the treadmill [miles completed].  I rarely give a flying fart about my pace.  Don't get me wrong I do the speed workouts, 800's, hills, whatever but I finish - I write down total distance [in my phone] and I'm done . . . until tomorrow.  No analyzing.

So when I got a text from "Buff" saying, "How many miles have you logged since you started training for your marathons last year?".  I was like, " (*&$@# if I know " followed by, "a lot".  He wasn't so impressed.  So I took a ballpark figure per week told him I started the last week in September 2009.  He came up with his figure - then I said there's no way it's THAT many miles. 

So, I sat down with my phone, a pad of paper and [a calculator, yuck] and started adding. 

Yep - I did it.  I'm not telling how long it took me.  Sad.  Just very sad how many times I checked and double checked [and maybe triple checked] to make sure the number was right!??

Ya, so running/training for 10 months has yielded me . . . . . .

2,380 miles.

crazy.

I love crazy.
