Slightly obsessed with round numbers

Am I the only one who's slightly obsessed with round numbers? I have to keep going until I've burned a round number of calories. A typical example:
OK, done my target of 300 calories. Oh wait, I'm nearly at 30 minutes, I'll carry on until then. But I'm so close to 5km I might as well keep going...
It's amazing serendipity when two of these coincide, and a sign from the heavens I can stop and chill out now!
Slightly OCD, I know, but I'm sure it keeps me going longer than I normally would!

Lol I'm the same way, but I'm an either or kind of girl. It's like ok I'll go until I've burned 300 calories OR until I've hit 3 miles OR until I've hit 30min, sometimes after I hit one I'll continue to the next depending on how I'm feeling I'll either stop earlier or later0

I do the same thing on the machines, I like to finish on a round number, but then when I log it on mfp I always take off calories as I don't trust the machines anyway! (And I don't use a hrm so I can't compare the two).0
