Numbers Girl

I've always been a numbers girl. Not that I can quickly do math in my head, but I love the way numbers feel when you notice them. When I was younger, a mere lass in my 20s, smaller numbers were more intimidating. Three miles seemed far, Five miles was practically a marathon. 80 minutes was a rugby game but that didn't seem the same as 8 miles.
As I watched 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 go past my feet today on the football field, it didn't seem so bad to be climbing them, but once I stopped counting (and breathing) I remembered why it was called "Suicides".
I ran 2 miles today (not including 2 suicides).
2 more down...
