No counting involved, just lifestyle changes
Remembering
     that first 3 mile run...
          that 5 mile treadmill trek.....
               the marathon you finished last in.

These weren't memories of counting days,
     but days of making memories,
          that all add up
               to a lifetime of lifestyle choices.

We weren't counting the days, we were making them count for us.
