Nothing but numbers

Today, not about running, or how I am feeling or what is happening.

I would like to write a little story about all the people that have been surfing this blog, have read the stories and left comments. I am definitely amazed by some numbers. Here goes nothing and do know: the numbers are up till now, so more to come of course:

-The Blog went live on September 10 and started with 15 views.
-In total the Blog had 1.368 Visits which resulted in 3.639 Page Views (2.66 Pages/ visit).
-The Site had 476 Absolute Unique Visitors.
-Average Time on the Site is 00:03:32 per Visit.
-Visitors came from 27 countries from the continents Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
-Top three countries were the United States, Germany and the Netherlands.
-The US had visits from 29 different state with Kentucky as the leader (who visits me from Louisville), followed by Florida and Minnesota.
-Monday, November 9, the day after the marathon I had the most visitors, 99 and the story got the most messages: 28 (up till today)
-Monday, November 9, the day after the marathon I had the most visits, 270 in total
-Internet Explorer has been used the most as Browser, followed by Firefox.
-Windows was the number one Operator System followed by Macintosh.
-Looking at the different traffic sources, the top 5 is: Direct, Hyves (referral), Blog.com, Facebook and Twitter.

It is amazing, in such a short period, all these numbers, all these visits, all these facts! I am proud of all of you and a little bit of myself.

Okay, okay, a little bit about how I am feeling! Not too good, physically Stairs are not my friend, on that note, my hips, knees, calves and feet are not my best friends either. Maybe preparing for a marathon in 12 weeks is not the best to do, but it is all behind me and I saw the finish line, and crossed it. The second day after a race is always the worse, so tomorrow I think it will all be fine again, I hope.

Hopefully, tomorrow I will add some pictures to the site to show you the journey and I also promise that I will keep on writing on this Blog till I have told everything to my Texas family and their reaction.

Just one more fact: This adventure is probably the longest secret I kept from my twin brother in my life. Since the 10th of August this has been a secret and I am amazed that it still is. Only 15 more days and I can share it with my brother. It will be exciting times.Over 300 people kept this a secret with me. Fifteen more days, all of you YOU CAN DO IT….. YES WE CAN!!!

Warm Regards,

Ferdinand
