    I'm so sorry to hear that you weren't showered with hugs and thumbs ups. I am holding two thumbs up for you!! That is a great accomplishment! Maybe you could find a moment to let your mom know how hard it was for you to reach that goal and it hurt your feelings a bit that she couldn't find a "cheerleading" moment. I bet if she tried to go with you and run with you she would appreciate more all the effort you are putting in.

    Bright side...look how proud we are of YOU!!!!! I know it's not the same but believe me when I say that you are inspiring to others here for your great accomplishment!

    Let me guess...your mom is overweight?

    The reality is, people will react in two ways to your success:

    1. Inspired, encouraging and motivated to make their own healthy changes

    OR

    2. Disinterested, pessimistic, or downright rude. Why? Because they don't want to admit that what you're doing is great or they will have to face their own weaknesses in those areas.

    I'd just turn it into something off the wall & funny like say, "yeah, my face does that just before I break wind."

    Congrats on the run. I hope to do a 5K at the end of the month. You can be MY inspiration.

    Well, you can always count on family to knock you down when you've reached a peak...oh well, that is life. As for the 5K...GREAT JOB! Wear that red face like a badge of honor!

    I echo these sentiments. You are awesome! I wish I could do that! I started "running" back at the end of January and I still cannot continuously run for more than half a mile. Running kills me... way to conquer!

    Sometimes jealous family and friends can get us down. Don't let them. You're giving your kids a great example of how to be healthy and get excited about it. You are amazing.
    Never forget that.

    Well done you achieved your goal & don't let someone else take that from you. It is really hard when its your Mom that can't show the encouragement that you deserve and that is her issue not yours.
    I have friends like that & when it comes to running a distance they never commit to it & think I'm a nutter because I 'train' to complete the task :explode: but they won't stop me & you will keep going - if for nothing else just to annoy the hell out of your Mom:tongue:
