Seventeen (17)

A nice exercise in improvisation.  Throw a bit of random into your practice.  Every third or fifth or seventh step, go in a different direction than you would normally.  Break the patterns.  The patterns dig themselves in, you have to fight to break out of them.  I do, at least.  Maybe in thirty years' time, every direction will feel as natural as every other.

According to some surveys, if people are asked to choose a number between 1 and 20, they choose 17 a disproportionate amount of the time.

    Why not every step? Then you won't have to count :)
