| 0:00.0 | Today I want to share with you an email that I just received from a listener to this podcast, |
| 0:09.2 | a listener who is not in the United States. |
| 0:13.1 | I was inspired by his email, and I think you will be too. |
| 0:18.3 | Welcome to Walking is Fitness. |
| 0:20.4 | This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra |
| 0:23.5 | motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made to yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. I've been |
| 0:28.8 | walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day. I'm walking right now, |
| 0:34.9 | and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. |

| 1:30.6 | Speaking of surprises, Ava and I were out walking the other night, |
| 1:34.6 | and a pleasant surprise as we were walking through the center of town, |
| 1:38.9 | we saw some people that we knew from Maryland, |
| 1:42.7 | and we had no idea they were down here. This is not the first |
| 1:45.1 | time this has happened where we've been out walking and run into people we know from 500 miles away. |
| 1:52.5 | Now, it's true that we live in Myrtle Beach, which is a vacation resort, but we don't live in the |
