I don’t know exactly when we came up with this, but among Emily and my many training catch-phrases is #noexcuses. It’s short and pretty self explanatory, but seriously effective.

Whenever I wake up and it’s raining or cold or dreary or I’m tired #noexcuses gives me no wiggle room, no way to get out of the workout. When that guy asks as I’m walking out the door “are you seriously going to run in the pouring rain today?” My response is automatic: #noexcuses.
