We are doing the Morning Mile and the students love it.  About 87 students participate right now, and we’re hoping for more. They love the instant recognition and having music to listen to is really fun for them. . Keeping track of the data is very simple and at the end of the year, we’ll be able to print out [...]

  “The Morning Mile is extremely popular with our students. We had over 100 participating yesterday and many are running/walking between a mile to a mile and a half each morning. The kids love it and we also have parents and younger siblings exercising, too. Great for our tardiness issue, since they are at school by 7:15 to start every [...]

Jeff Galloway is the real deal when it comes to running. He’s run an obscene amount of marathons throughout his life (he’ll tell you how many in this video interview) and has done so because he has a kinder, gentler approach to running. He’s a tremendous role model for active folks of all ages and shared some loving guidance for [...]

Since almost 65,000 students in the state of Florida now have access to participate in the Morning Mile at their schools, we’d love to encourage these Morning Milers and their parents to take part in some of the Disney 5K Family races. They’re one of the most truly wholesome athletic adventures a family can have. These races are non-competitive, fun [...]

This feature comes directly from BBC News.  How well children perform in the classroom could be linked to how physically active they are, suggests a Dutch review of [...]

Congrats to Liberty Elementary’s 4th grader Mackenzie Worthy, who just earned her #100 charm for yes … running 100 miles! She ran 102 miles in just 32 days. Wow! We’re so excited to share in her outstanding accomplishment and encourage all of her peers to catch up! What a beautiful smile to match that super healthy and fit body of [...]

It’s no secret that the world wide obesity epidemic continues to grow at an alarming rate.  Even more alarming, though, is the increase in childhood obesity and the major medical issues that accompany this condition.  Diabetes, high blood pressure, and even the beginning stages of coronary artery disease are all on the rise in the pediatric population. The quest for [...]

See how far the Morning Milers at Healthy Learning Academy have run. They’re collecting their miles to travel across the country from Washington D.C. to San Fransisco. See how far they’ve gone by visiting their google map here.

A shotgun start! No … there’s not really a shotgun firing at any Morning Mile school, but you’d think there was. Nothing like seeing dozens of kids exuberantly and anxiously awaiting to bolt the moment their Morning Mile Coordinator or Coach says “go”! Wouldn’t it be awesome if adults were also so eager to run? Laughter and squeals: Yes indeedy! [...]
