Starting Healthy Traditions

The Hambly Family has a tradition of holding a family 5K every Fourth of July. This year was the 8th annual 5K, and we were glad we were able to go. The 5K started before anyone in the family really got into running and was small because there weren't nearly as many grandkids. This year, 37 family members (including little ones and babies) participated in the 5K! The point of the 5K isn't to win or to show off how fast you can go, but to spend time as a family doing something healthy and fun. Not everyone runs, but everyone makes an effort to participate. It has become one of my favorite family traditions.

I think it's important to start healthy traditions because when you are trying to be healthy together, it's some much easier and so much more fun! Do you guys have any healthy traditions? Anyone up to holding a family 5K in October :) ?

    If you put one together we would participate:) I think we could handle the temp that time of year. But if I have to run... then there should be some volleyball action too (as a reward!)

    I think that's really cool that Ryan's family does that. I would do it. But I better get going then. P.S. A 5K scares me!...running is so hard for me!
