Where's my NotPod?

I brought my workout clothes to work today so that I could run during lunch. I used to do this regularly, but lately I have been meeting a friend after work to run so I don't run at lunch as much. Today, I was excited and changed clothes to go running and realized that I left my NotPod at home! I have never ran without music. I am in the habit of turning up the music so loud that I can't hear myself breath hard.

Well, I went out anyway and told myself that if it was really weird then I would go half the distance and come back. As it turns out, it isn't too bad running without music. I went the full distance of my regular route at a pace of 10 minutes the first mile and 11.5 minutes the second mile. I will not do it all the time, but it is nice to know that if I forget my NotPod again, then it isn't the end of the world.

I am so new to this and I am not very good so I always worry when something is out of the ordinary. I was proud of myself for not chickening out and staying at the office during lunch and then running the whole way. So much for little signs of progress!
