Motivation is many things. It's different to many people.
People ask me about my motivation quite a bit so here is what I tell them:

1. running - it motivates me because i can see an improvement at each and every race. whether i get a medal or just a shirt

2. looking better - motivating when people complement me :)

3. feeling better - just having more energy to run, and play

4. listening to water - motivating as it is calming (not good to listen to while running a long distance race as it made me want to go to the bathroom)

5. just knowing people care - is motivating i have quite a few "fans" when i run.
