Why is running/walking your family activity of choice?
Running/walking is something that everyone can do at their own pace.
Why are you training for Doc's DASH as a family?
We like a challenge and a little friendly competition. We retired the stroller. The kids will all be running on their own this year!

"I Like to Move It" by Reel 2 Real.
What other healthy lifestyle activities do you participate in as a family?
