Motivation from my mother

I took up running a few weeks ago, and told my mother, as she has been a runner for years. I figured she would appreciate the update. Today I received a parcel in the post from her (we live in different countries) containing a copy of Runners Fitness magazine, a sweatband and a special water bottle that's easy to run with. I've been rather lazy recently, but it put such a smile on my face. I went straight out the door for an afternoon run, and got a new personal best.

Maybe I should have posted this in success stories....
