Why do you train? Ebbs and flows

Sometimes I am not sure why I hit the gym, go for a cycle or whatever may take my fancy that day. Is it always structured and towards a defined goal? Nope! Is it always relevant to my needs? Nope! Is it always fun? Nope!
People train for all kinds of reasons such as vanity, insecurity, for a competition, boredom, self-improvement, and of course enjoyment. For me there isn't many things better than a great cycle with a group of like-minded people, but other days there is nothing worse!
I think over the course of the year, what motivates me to get out and train is constantly varying as is my enjoyment, but one thing that remains stable and that is the pleasure you get when you have completed your workout and you can sit back with a big bowl of pasta and feel very smug indeed!
