Fathers Day is THIS Sunday! You know what else is this Sunday? Richard's Father's Day Family Walk/Jog!
I am thankful for numerous things my father has given me (one being LIFE), but I'm gonna talk about one thing in particular.
I'm thankful that my father lead me to an active lifestyle. I was a soccer player, dancer, and cheerleader growing up. Being active was the norm, always outside playing tag, soccer, or hide and seek. I don't remember many days sitting inside, I remember A LOT of days being outside. I learned how to ride a bike at 3 years old, we climbed around trees in our secret backyard "fort", and we did crazy dangerous things like tie plant dollys onto bikes and get pulled around on them. Many scraps and bruises...I have the scars to prove of these happenings.
I'm sure many of your childhoods looked the same. Today is a totally different age, and it's important to lead our kids outside, into the sun, to explore and get scraps and bruises!

Once I had kids of my own, I realized that a child will follow your example and actions when they are young. Raising active healthy kids is what I strive for in life!
One way of showing our kid's what a healthy lifestyle looks like is taking them on runs with us. And this Sunday, on Father's Day, we are having the whole family participate in a walk/jog together! It's a great way to add activity in the day before we all pig out on yummy food (all daddy's favorites)!
The second annual “Richard’s Father’s Day Family Walk/Jog” at 8 a.m. on Sunday, June 21st at Ulele restaurant in Tampa Heights.
