Numbers matter...or do they? On this shorter solo episode, I dive into the important numbers that apply to our fitness, faith and life. That includes a race recap of the farthest distance I've ever run at one time. There are a lot of numbers associate with the NCAA Tournament that just started, aka "March Madness," with 68 men's basketball teams - womens teams too - trying to make it to the Sweet 16 and elite 8 and Final Four. There are plenty of statistics that matter in sports too, but do they really determine who wins? Numbers are everywhere - our age, anniversaries, our weight and weight loss, time, money and paychecks and taxes, distance and speed we drive...I could go on and on. But there are better things than numbers that can define value in our life. I list off some of those and how numbers can be used for good. The same for fitness numbers - things like how far or fast we run, how much weight we lift, health markers like BMI and blood pressure. I describe the ins and outs of my most recent race, a last man standing one called #onemileatatime in Griffin GA that included 1+ mile loops around a lake, as long as you could last. I beat my previous highest distance and ended up running 36.55 miles or 8.5 hours, but why did I quit? And you'll wanna hear how 2 guys pushed each other, lasted the entire 24 hours or 101 miles! Those are amazing numbers. There are also plenty of significant numbers in the Bible (I'm reading that book right now) and related to our faith, as I pray about to close out this pod.
