- The hardcore feeling you get when while running in the cold rain and snow.
- The ability to track your progress and evaluate your efforts with technology.
- Gear, gear, and more gear!
- Setting and beating goals.
- The clarity that after a long run.
- Watching the steam pour off you body as you stretch after a long run in the early morning cold.

- Getting faster.
- How it motivates me.
