Moore On Running: Kids Running

I believe in encouraging kids to run by showing them how fun it is to get out and have an adventure.

As you can tell from my blog, I have battled my own weight issues. Although my weight ballooned in my twenties and thirties, my problems did not start as an adult. I have battled these issues sense I was a child. I clearly remember my pant size was "husky" and I can not remember ever talking about healthy eating with anyone in my family. In fact, as a child growing up in a family of five kids and a single mother we ate mostly government assistance food which was high in fat and loaded with sodium.

One of the many benefits of the changes I have made is that I have been able to share with my family the benefits of living an active lifestyle.

I love to run and play with my family. I write a lot about the adventures we have and the accomplishments of my son. I receive a lot of emails asking me how to motivate kids to run and how to run as a family. I am in no way an expert, but I have a wife who is proud of what I have accomplished and I am a proud dad of a seven year old son who loves to imitate me.
