What motivates you?

Everyone has different reasons for doing what they do. From the Elite to the recreational runner. As a middle of the pack runner, I always hear stories on the trail of why people are doing what they do. I hear it constantly from friends, family and co-workers- “why do you do it?”. I think this is different for everyone. Sometimes to me it isn’t “why we do it” sometimes it’s “HOW?”. What gets a person out the door? What drives a person to wake up at 5 am for a 20 mile run before work? What motivates you to run 40-100 miles a week?

Well, that’s what we want to know. Leave a comment. What’s your motivator? What is your “trick” to getting out the door in the driving rain storm for a nice 12 miler?
