April is National County Government Month and it’s a great time to live in Arlington County if you’re a runner. Earlier this month, Livability.com ranked Arlington sixth on its “Top 10 Healthiest Cities” list. And a few weeks prior, Arlington County was named the healthiest county in Virginia. It’s a bittersweet moment for Walter Tejada, vice chairman of the Arlington County Board, as the praise keeps flooding in.

“I’m thrilled Arlington is getting accolades on trying to be a healthy community and a lot of people in our community deserve congrats,” Tejada said.
