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!

What's on your 5K or 1-Mile Fun Run playlist (power song)?
"I Like to Move It" by Reel 2 Real.

What other healthy lifestyle activities do you participate in as a family?
