I think you should have added "gym" as an option. I spend a lot of time on the elliptical trainer because you can balance an iPad on it while you work out - but I don't really consider that 'running' as I assume that means real running outdoors.

Stopped using the car and started going (almost) everywhere by foot and public transport. I probably end up walking about 1 or 2 hours per day.

The best motivation is the fact that I save money, don't have to worry about traffic, and feel more awake after walking. The physical fitness side of it doesn't concern me that much, even though I know it should.

i recently bought a fitbit and wearing it everyday encourages me to walk more than i would otherwise. the growing flower icon on it is good positive reinforcement.

when i ride my bike long distances, i use mytracks on my android phone to track my course and speed.
