My cousin ran her first 1/2 marathon last weekend. This is a conversation with her father.
Cousin: It was a great race.
Father: Oh, please go and eat a stake. Running this much is crazy, another stupid American thing. You are already so thin, it will destroy you.
(This is the same cousin that prior to starting running about 8 months ago was going through a tough depression treated succesfully with a few weekly running doses...)

Your cousin's Father sounds like my mother. She always says to me, "Why do you run so much? You are destroying you body" Ah, but is so good for my mind Mom.
And it's good for the body, too!
My mom is the same. It's funny bc she was trained as a physical education teacher and was actually a gymnast in her youth... Still, every time she hears I run a race she says "Oh, it's too much".
Oh my gosh! And I thought MY family was unsupportive!
