It may seem like 2020 is never-ending, but we’ve made it through 300 days.
More important, I’ve run every day for 300 days. I have 66 days left before I earn four virtual badges on Smashrun, which is why I run/walk outside every day, no matter the weather.
Most people think of the movie 300 about the battle of Thermopylae in 480BC. It was excellent, even if it wasn’t historically accurate. I hunted down less violent factoids to celebrate the number 300.
The best part about 300 is there are only a couple of months left in 2020. I’m sure we are looking forward to the new year.
Celebrating 300
- The whole numbers from 1 to 24 add up to 300
- The book “Twenty Glimpses: A Flash Fiction Collection” by Greek author George F Gouzounis contains 20 stories, each exactly 300 words (I totally want to do this)
- Redwood trees often grow to 300 feet tall
- Babies are born with 300 bones, while adults have 206 bones
- The melting point of amber is 300 degrees C
