Not to be out done, our oldest Gabie (on the right) ran a 200 meter fun run, along with one of her best friends Camryn. I think other kids participated as well :)
Keeping healthy is one of our goals as I family. Last fall Gabie ran her first 5k. I hope to be able to run with her on her first 10k and half marathon as well (when she turns 10 and 13 respectively). I think it will be a great tradition for all of our girls.
So how does your family stay fit? What traditions does your family have with running?
Also, I several times this week I have mentioned the importance of the having a running community. The Cloverdale Running Club is made of members from our church who all enjoy running. I think there are 20-25 of us. So I'm wondering, are you part of a running club? Do you have a training partner?

I was supposed to be in Conway last month. The oilfield company I work for has a store there. I am the inventory manager, but since I am also a pastor, I got a reprieve on Conway's physical inventory because of a wedding.
Great post.
Thanks Kevin, I hope you'll stop in again.
I can't really add anything of value concerning running, but it is great to see the children involved with you. That's sounds like fun for the whole family.
I had my wife drive or van home from church the other night while I walked home with both of our children. It is a short 10 block walk but they loved every minute of it. A small investment in our children will pay a life time of dividends.
Keeping fit as a family is a way to 'ingrain' it into the children at an early age.
When I was a child we didn't do much family stuff, it was mostly whatever my old man wanted and we all tagged along. Sure we tended to enjoy whatever (water skiing, swimming, etc) but it wasn't a family event.
But, to answer your question - we stay fit as a family in two organised ways (not including the many dis-organised) ... we 'Tang Soo Do' (not mum) and we go geocaching.
Now I'm a dad I do my best to ensure I have me time but equally I have time doing what my children want - so the other day saw me throwing a rugby ball around with my youngest.
