Motivation...

How do you stay motivated on a fitness program?

I'm running the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon over Labor Day Weekend this year. Once I signed up, I made this little motivator sign for myself.

It hangs over my desk to remind me that I will be running a 1/2 Marathon in my hometown (as if I needed reminding). I've also hung the photos from last week's 1/2 in my bedroom where they are one of the first things I see in the morning.

I am so proud of myself for finishing. Now I want to improve on the time.

It is difficult to find time to run with work, school, family, etc. I have probably 100 excuses. How do you keep and/or stay motivated?
