My mom's not on MFP, but I have to brag on her for being so supportive of me. As you can see in my signature, I'll be finishing the C25K program soon, and my reward to myself is buying some cold weather running clothes since I live in Colorado. She was at a discount store this weekend (Hudson's Treasure Hunt, for those of y'all in the South!) and saw some very high-quality name brand (don't remember name) running clothes for 90% off. So she bought $600** worth of running clothes for me and shipped them to me this morning. (**Note that the original value was $600; she paid $60!)

So I just had to brag that my mom is AWESOME!!! :)

Oh, and she's going to buy cheap mp3 players for herself, my dad, and my brother, and they're going to do the C25K program together! I'm so happy and proud!!

    Stories like that are so awesome to read! When I hear of families supporting one another I start to tear up. I have the support of my husband but that sums it up. However he is such an amazing man that he is all I need. My mom has given up on her health and has completely let herself go. In a way she motivates me because I never want to be that way. Good luck with your C25K!!!

    Yeah, it's an invitational from the BolderBoulder (Memorial Day) that's 5k around the CU campus in December. The trophies are penguins! :)

    Then of course, there's an open wave at the end for anyone that either didn't run the BolderBoulder or didn't run it fast enough to run in an invitational wave. That's where I'll be running, as this will be my first 5k....actually, it's my first race since the last Field Day in junior high! :P
