Keeping my mind busy while running

Today I tried a new strategy during my run.  I set the pace at 6.5 mph and counted every time my right leg touched the ground.  I found out that I do roughly 180 or so paces per quarter mile.  So I imagined that each pace was 1 yard.  Actually each pace comes to about 2.3 yards.  I kept telling myself only 1200 yards left (when actually it was 1.6 miles).  Today's run was a little less painful than last run and I went a little further.  Joanna was on the Eliptical and Sup was on the other treadmill.

2.75 miles in 25:03

Oh and every run starts and end with a good 5 minutes of stretching and also ends with 50 pushups without stopping.
