Looking For Some Motivation? Here are 37 Motivations!

Right now, I'm just so thrilled to be back at my training, I need little motivation to get on that treadmill and go.  (You won't even hear me complaining about how boring the treadmill is!)

But sooner or later I know there's going to come a morning when I just can't get myself out of bed, or the demands of my busy life will attempt to intrude on my running time.
