Hello my fellow MFPers, :smile:

Just wanted to share a little NSV that happened to me this evening.

Today, I woke up from my friend's going away party feeling exhausted and not motivatated to do anything. As the day went on, that feeling grew but since I knew I needed to get my run in to keep my no-skipping-out-on-my-workout streak (if that makes sense! :P) I just knew I couldn't skip today just cause I wasn't feeling 100%! (Afterall, I brought it on myself!)

As I was getting ready for my run, I noticed my MP3 Player was running out of battery power, and since I was already later than usual going for my run I decided to chance it and hope I would make it home before the battery power died on me.

There I was running away, getting a good sweat on singing along to my music....and then BAM without warning the damn MP3 player shuts off on me 20 minutes into my run!

This is where my NSV comes in...

Months before finding MFP, and my love for running, I would have just turned around and called it a day. Today was different! Instead of bailing on my run, I took off my head phones and continued to get my sweat on. If anything, my run was shorter than usual because I hauled *kitten* realizing I would be without my music to keep me company. ;)

Thanks for reading....it means a lot.

    I ran yesterday with a bit of a hangover from my post-finals celebration. It was painful but I did it and couldn't be prouder of myself. Congratulations on your determination!

    Great Job! You are such an inspiration to me! I'm going to start my own no-skipping-out-on-my-workout streak. I have been a complete slacker and I have lots of good excuses... :) However, no one cares about excuses and I'm tired of making them!

    That is great. I had a total hissy fit at my husband a few weeks back when I couldn't find my ipod, I NEED it to run!
