Where do you find your running inspiration, or "runspiration" or motivation as we call it? I'll give you one of mine: Gibson's Daily Running Quotes (on Facebook & Twitter), daily running quotes from inspirational runners and athletes with great digital photos to drive the motivation home. :)

    r/running.

    Also, just recently I perused the boards and started friend requesting a bunch of runners. Now my daily news feed keeps me inspired. I have a lot of friends on mfp who are straight beasts!

    Oh and races. Register for them then create a training schedule. Knowing I have to mark each day off my calendar keeps me inspired.

    Runing wi my club helps me. We have some local legends. One guy has a pace maker and wins his age group almost everytime. And just seeing other people working hard on speedwork day keeps me honest on my intervals.

    I like the stories that Runner's World has on their motivation page, and my running club's magazine that they put out has wonderful stories. And I also just pay attention to my cousin on facebook, he always finds really good running quotes for inspiration from all over.

    Virtual running communities on Google+ (there's a running one with 12,000+ runners). But I benefit more from the small private ones-a lot more one-on-one interaction & help when you need it.
