Today's bonus walk is helping you create a walking habit you will love. Hi, I'm Dave. Not entirely

sure if this walk is going to last 10 minutes, but I wanted to answer some questions that have

been bubbling up this week, and it's something that I haven't talked about yet haven't mentioned yet.

First, I hope you've heard the episode from earlier today. It's about Linda and her walking routine.

I really love how she's combining step tracker metrics with a heartfelt goal, a real goal that's providing daily motivation to pursue fitness, to get out

and take the walk.

I found her story fascinating.

I found it interesting.

I found it motivating.

And I think you will too.

And that's the episode from earlier today.

But this is a bonus walk. A question has been

bubbling up from listeners to the podcast and viewers to the videos on the walking as fitness

YouTube channel like this from Lydia earlier this week. Good morning Dave. Just checking in to make

sure that you and your family and your house are okay

Jana on Instagram I've been sending prayers away

hope you Ava and your home are safe from the fires

and this comment on YouTube glad to see you got concerned when I saw the news about the fires in Myrtle Beach

and then someone on the walking his fitness YouTube channel left a comment that said

simply isn't Myrtle Beach on fire no is the answer but there is a wildfire that's

been burning since the weekend it's about five miles from where we live.

I wasn't aware of how that news was spreading outside of this area. Obviously, it's big news here because, well, it's a wildfire that has burned, I think it's now a couple thousand acres.
