What you're doing is big, and it's worth celebrating. Welcome to walking as 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

And they're doing, I think they're pouring some concrete. That's probably,

I don't know, maybe 200 yards from where I'm walking. So I used to do a morning radio program,

and one of the people that I did the show with, the morning show with, a woman named Tracy.

Tracy and I, in some ways, very similar.

In other ways, we are very, very different.

And one of the ways that we are different is how we celebrate.

Tracy loves to honor people in her life that have

accomplished a big deal and the bigger the celebration, the better. And when she has accomplished

something, she also wants to celebrate. I don't know that she is quite as, let's make it a big

deal as she is for others because she's very, very focused on serving others and making a big deal

about the accomplishments of others. I, on the other hand, am much more a subtle celebrator.

And I'll give you an example.

So I did this 20K one-year step challenge.
