My friend set a goal for herself to run 100 miles in 6 months, or something like that. Which inspired me to set my own goal. 50 miles walked/ran on the elliptical by the end of the year. I'm already halfway to my goal.

I've had to be a self motivator. I started out working out with a friend but she's been so completely flaky lately that I can't count on her anymore, but have stayed motivated to do it on my own. (I got to a private gym for free in the fire dept and am usually by myself, which I think helps me because I don't have to work out in front of a bunch of people.) I don't know quite where the motivation is coming from but I've been going strong for 2 years now.
