FINDING A REASON TO RUN

It has been three days now since i have been on my own and i have been trying to find a consistent motivator to keep me training hard and running everyday. Somedays are easier than others, and some days i can find motivation to run from stress of the day or issues with an ex. But i really find that i am struggling to find a way that i can keep running no matter what.

"There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly i run because i am an animal and a person, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be."

I read a few quotes like this one and i realize that i need to be my own inspiration. I need to make running a habit that i can't question or excuse myself from. I need to make running a natural part of my life, like eating breakfast or brushing my teeth. Once i get out there on the roads my thoughts and desires along with the music on my ipod will be enough to keep me going mile after mile, at least until the snow starts falling.
