Keeping that fitness promise you made to yourself is hard.

In other words, right now, you are choosing to do a hard thing.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

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

Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging just under 21,000 steps a day.

I am walking right now and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes or so.

It is a beautiful morning in South Carolina, 54 degrees,

and the skies are super clear.

In fact, they are so clear, and I won't bore you with this,

because I've already done it a couple of times on the podcast,

but the International Space Station is flying directly overhead at the moment.

And so I keep planting up there to see that.

But it is pre-sunrise.

The wind is calm, which is really kind of this weird weather pattern we are in here in Myrtle Beach. Now I don't I don't know if this is

normal or if I'm just aware of it in a way that I haven't been before. So the days, the afternoons have been been really windy, and it's been going on for what feels like weeks.

And because the temperature is, the spring has been a little bit cooler than normal, I think our afternoon highs are anywhere from 5 to 7 degrees, lower than what they typically are.

You know, that wind feels cooler, and so I'm more aware of it.

But in the morning, it has been very calm.

So, like, no wind right now, but if today follows suit,

it'll be pretty windy later this afternoon. And usually the wind start picking up by about mid-morning or so. Also, I have not seen the little animal that we were alerted about a couple of days ago that I actually saw scampering across the road.

I thought it was a fox or a raccoon.

The email that we received indicates that it's either a fox or a raccoon. The email that we received indicates that it's either a fox or a coyote.
