The biggest way I stay motivated is to run with a group of friends. Sometimes it's hard to get going by yourself, but if you have a plan and a meeting time, you know this run will happen for sure. It's a way to have fun - while also getting in a workout. Plus it distracts from pain, helps you fight fatigue, and gives you that extra push.

Allyson FelixMy mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.
