Flabbergasted.

So, this morning, I could not find my precious iPod Shuffle. A little background: this was a gift, a few Christmases ago, from my bro, sis-in-law, and kiddos. It was engraved with "Auntie Mo's Tunes." I mean, how much better can you get?

This shuffle has seen me through my first trip to the gym as an adult (or really, ever), back in 2006 or so, through to now, when I'm training for the half-marathon. I love my tunes. How would I ever get through?

So, I set out this morning and just went for the no-music run. You know what? I did great! I couldn't believe that I actually ran more without Jason Derulo jamming in my ears.

I'm still going to search high and low for Auntie Mo's Tunes, because it is one of my favorite things and was an incredibly thoughtful gift... but it's good to know that I can get through on my own motivation now and again.

Hurrah!!
