My first run of 2012

I have just returned back to my flat after my first run/walk of the year. It feels really good now that I am sat on my sofa drinking water but the doing part wasn't so easy. So what kept me motivated to keep going;

• I had a picture that I have created of me fitting into my size 12 jeans, with me beaming with happiness, surrounded by people that I love,
• I made a motivation play list for me to listen when I was running,
• I talked to myself, reminding myself why this was important to me,
• Being out in the open, in the fresh air on a nice day.

I hope this gives you some ideas for yourself, to keep you motivated on your journey. Please share what keeps you motivated.
