So, Ava and I have had quite the walking drama lately.

Two stories.

Two dramatic stories in today's episode.

Hi, I'm Dave.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily podcast that provides you with a little added

motivation to get out and take the walk.

Every episode, including today's, is recorded while I'm out walking.

So as you're listening, it's kind of like we're taking a walk together and we'll get started after this.

So I mentioned in the open that we've had some drama.

Even I've had some drama with recent walks.

And as I'm walking now, I'm actually heading to the scene of one of these dramatic stories.

I think we're going to be talking about both of these walks for probably years to come.

So I'll tell you them in the chronological order that they happened. And the first

one happened, again, I'm walking to the scene, and I think I'll get there before our 10 minutes

are up. So this summer, we have encountered more snakes while we've been out walking than since we moved down here.

We've been aware that there are copperheads, that that's a common snake here in Myrtle Beach.

And I'm aware that they tend to like linger in the tall grass

and so when we're out walking I'm always looking a little bit ahead looking for the

copperheads is there any movement and this year we've actually seen two well

Ava seen two I've seen one.

And it wasn't lingering in the tall grass with actually crossing the path in front of.

It was a small copperhead. It might even have been a baby copperhead.
