Games runners play

Just finished my long run of the week. My game at the moment is to work out the percentages of my run distance and cheer myself when I reach them. Also, there's a very visible landmark right near my house. when I turn for home and see it, I like imagining it's calling me home and cheering me on.
When the going gets really tough, I've got a mantra as well, but I try to save that for the really hard times.

What are your motivational running mind games?

As bad as this sounds, I usually base my runs on calories burned = glasses of wine I can drink during the weekend. Not even kidding.
