It was Action 059 - Do The Math. As soon as I start running on the treadmill, I start playing math games with myself. As the readout showed 0.1 mile, I said to myself, "sweet, I'm one-thirtieth done." That was followed quickly by one-fifteenth and one-tenth. By focusing on the numbers and rattling around different fractions in my head, I'm putting in the miles without thinking too much about the actual running. As I got up to .75, I realized I was already halfway to halfway. And on it goes, until I am running out of time and miles and ready to finish.
It's a quirky thing, perhaps, but it makes the time fly by when I run. And that is a winning calculation, no matter the math.
