That's awesome and I bet she sets the bar for you and what you feel that can be accomplished, literally!
Sassy, too right! its good because while other parents mke excuses for their kids, mine have always encouraged me that we could do anything..
I think my parents are awesome too! they train pole vault with a high school track club... ha ha!
in a way its good, because my brothers and I have always grown up knowing that fitness is just a part of life...so we have all been involved in competitive sports.. who else goes for a 'family christmas morning runs' or 'family 100 mile sunday-afternoon-bike rides?
when i was a teenager, i hated it, but now I think its great that my parents are fitter than people young enough to be their grandchildren!
