TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  February is known as the month of love, but it is also Heart Health Month. It is important to exercise your heart in the conventional sense.

The Tyndall fitness center hosted the annual Run for Your Heart 5K Feb. 13 which started and ended in front of the base track.

Approximately 100 Tyndall runners lined up for a race that has been happening at Tyndall for more than 20 years.

Tech. Sgt. Blaine Truman, 43rd Aircraft Maintenance Unit crew chief, was the first to cross the finish line.

"I think these kinds of events promote a healthier lifestyle," said Truman. "It's easier to get out and do a run when you're doing it with friends instead of out by yourself."

The fitness center will host a 1.5 mile beach run in April. For more information call 283-2631.
