Have your workouts been feeling like work and drudgery lately? Here is a huge list of inspirational stories from people who have chosen running as their favorite form of exercise.

• A Passion for Running – we remember when…

I remember when I couldn’t run for more than a few feet. I would look ahead of me and say, “I’ll run to that garbage can.” Sometimes I didn’t even make it to the garbage can. Eventually, it got easier to run without resorting to walking, but running has never gotten easier. It is always a challenge, every morning, every run. That’s why it’s a sport that I can live with the rest of my life. That’s why I enjoy each run. There is something different to conquer each day.
