Later in this episode, I'm going to leave Carla an Easter egg.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013. Still take an

intentional fitness walk every single day. I'm walking right now, and I would love to have you

join me for the next 10 minutes. It is a little cooler this morning than normal.

I think, I still am not entirely sure what normal is here in South Carolina and Myrtle Beach.

It's only my third spring here, and each one has had a different feel.

Last year it was cloudy and wet. This year, we've had a good amount of sunshine,

but it's kind of been this roller coaster ride as far as the temperature is concerned. We'll get up

into the 70s, upper 70s. We've had a couple of days where the temperature has been above 80, in fact, earlier this week,

just a couple of days ago.

It was pushing up there and then the temperature drops.

It's like this roller coaster ride.

And there have been points along the way where the temperature has just been

cooler than normal. And we're in one of those cycles right now. And I'm like, come on, let's go.

You can stay warm. You can do this. I want to thank some folks who bought the podcast, a virtual

coffee, or two or ten, as D.K. did earlier this week,

also left this message. As a lifelong off and on Walker who needed some motivation to get back in the swing,

your podcast has helped me immensely. I look forward to your encouraging words each day.

Thank you so much. D.K., thank you. Thank you for the virtual

coffee. And if you're wondering, what is this that you speak of? So this podcast is free for you.
