Number 20: A Healthy runner is a happy runner.
As soon as you feel like your coming down with something, pamper yourself: eat lots of fruit and get extra rest. A little prevention today may mean you wont be debating next week if your too sick to run.
Number 19: Become a running mentor
Once you get your neighbor, co-worker or significant other hooked on running they'll be counting on your continued support, guidance - and company
Number 18: Run for a reason
Run for a reason. Do a race for charity. Helping kids with diabetes or women with breast cancer makes it much easier to get out the door.

Australian marathon legend Steve Moneghetti says that he was never great at getting out of bed for a run in the mornings so he would put his running gear next to the bed the night before. "As soon as I woke up I would see them and know to get straight up and going" he says.

Number 10: Run an errand - literally
Run an errand - literally. Run to get cash from the ATM or to return the DVD to the video store, every extra ounce of movement is better than none.
Number 9: Run through a storm
Run through a spring storm. With rain hitting you sideways and the wind whipping your face, you'll feel alive. Just make sure you have a dry pair of shoes for the next day

The pile of dishes in the sink can wait till the sun goes down. Your run can't
