Interesting Milestone

I like interesting number sequences. For instance, my in-laws' phone number has always been easy to remember because it goes down sequentially and then goes back up. I find it mildly entertaining when the odometer on my vehicle hits a sequential number (54321) or a repeated number (55555) or a number with interesting relationships (41612 -- 4-squared=16; 16-4=12). And, yes, though I don't understand the math, I do like the show Numb3rs.

Well, ClustrMaps tickled my interest in numbers today with the stats on my blog -- they do the world map hit-counter in the sidebar. It reported a gross total of visitors to my blog, since I added a ClustrMap on 9-Oct-2006, as being 7777 as of 5:16AM today.

Out of curiosity, I checked my wife's cooking-from-scratch blog, Yummy Y'all, and they had registered 888 visitors to her blog since 27-Oct-2006.

Numberwise, I'm satisfied today. And, no, it doesn't take much to entertain me. ROTFLOL!

Run well, y'all,

6's and 7's

Miles, that is. Today, I passed 600 miles run YTD (603.2) and 700 miles on my shoes (702.2). In one of his posts, David H mentioned that he notices interesting number patterns -- All In a Row. I do, too, and hitting those two numbers on the same day was mildly entertaining.

Not to mention the fact that I'm pretty impressed that a pair of running shoes would actually last me 700 miles. That's the most I've gotten out of a pair in 5 years of running and keeping records. My last 3 pairs of shoes have been Etonic Jepara SC's and I'm sold. And, yes, of course Etonic has said they're discontinuing the Jepara SC and replacing it with an improved model. That probably means one that will cost more and won't last as long.

Run well, y'all,
Bob
