Motivation

Get fabulous!

To be honest with you, this section is the most difficult I have had to write. How do you motivate people to do what they perceive to be difficult and bloody hard?, lets face it, there are a lot of things people would rather do than go out and run. I guess when it comes to motivation its a case of 'different strokes for different folks'.
I was speaking to a friend of mine, Marcia, this evening, she has just started to run and although she finds it tough she is determined to persevere, she said when she sees other people running, she thinks 'if they can run so can I', thats her motivation.
For me, one of my main motivations for running is to look fabulous in my jeans!. I like to look and feel fabulous. I guess motivation could be anything from going down a dress size, to entering a 10k race, to not wanting to let yourself down or even to wanting to get that hot date!. Whatever it is, motivation and running go together just like fish and chips. To conclude, I remember a quote I saw somewhere "Pain is temporary, pride is forever" and anything worth having doesnt come easy, it may sound like a cliché but like most clichés is so true!
So just get out there and start running to a better body, mind and life ... thats motivation!
