    Join a running club. Clubs have differeent levels and groups to run with and as you progress through them you will become motivated naturally.

    The best thing is to find someone to run with. Find a local running group and join them. Go slow at first. Also, get some good running shoes that fit you (not a popular pair someone else likes). Go to a running store to get fitted.

    When you start, you might have to run/walk for a while, but that's natural. That's why it's good to have a friend or group to run with. You should be able to keep a conversation going. If you can't, you're going too fast.

    Go to a gym first, running can actually be dangerous, because it can lead to arthritis and loads of bone/joint pain in the future, but that's only if you do it wrong. So go to a gym find out how to run properly and then go running, because if you know how to do it properly it makes you feel so good. As for the motivation part, imagine what you want to gain from it in the future and then run towards it until you reach it
