Many of the above.
But also running into a gale at the top of the Dodds/Langdales/High Street with your hood flapping thunderously in your ears and the hail stinging you even through four layers and your fingers just going numb from the cold... and realising that you are nails!
Re: Things that make you go :)
It's a Friday night at Langdale, tent's set up, just about to have your first mouthful of lovely pasta, sat there thinking of the weekend ahead.
Doesn't get a lot better.
Re: Things that make you go :)
Or finshing a race you love, seeing your partner and your little one, and thinking of the well-deserved pizza and lie down you'll be having that night.
(Food themed!)

Lying in the sun with a cold(ish) cider at the end of a long day's sunny running in the Lakes with friends, knowing that you get to do it all again tomorrow.
(Even if tomorrow you do get horrifically sunburnt and minor sunstroke)
Saunders MM - love it :thumbup:

Its happened very rarely to me over the years (and never on the fells) but when it dawns on you that you are going to win! :D
Re: Things that make you go :)
When you're running slower than about 15 other runners, but you're the only one bothering to navigate properly, and you end up in the lead four times in the same event. Laughing out loud as I was running along was a first for me (this year's South Shropshire Circular LDWA event).
Re: Things that make you go :)
Jez, I know that spot. I saw a short-eared owl just a few yards from there a couple of days ago!
Re: Things that make you go :)
Running through muddy watery mess with wild, carefree abandon feeling the mud splashing up my legs. That sounds a bit fetisch-y but hey ho, whatever floats your boat!
