Keeping that fitness promise we made to ourselves 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, a little boost of motivation

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

Here in South Carolina, it is a beautiful morning to walk yesterday.

I mentioned that the day hadn't decided what it wanted to be when it grew up. I was getting mixed

signals. It was supposed to be a cloudy day with maybe a little bit of rain, but as I was walking

yesterday morning, the skies were clear.

The temperature was kind of hovering for me between mild and cool, and it ended up being a

beautiful day yesterday. It decided it wanted to be windy, as it seems to be the case these

days in the afternoon. It was a windy afternoon, but the sky was crystal blue all day long,

and the temperature made it just a bit above 70 degrees,

and just a beautiful spring day here in South Carolina.

Today, I think it has decided what it wants to be when it grows up, which is a cloudy day.

I see mostly clouds. We do have the threat of rain later this afternoon and temperatures right around 70 or so.

Although this morning I dressed for more coolish weather, which is what I have at the moment. It is a little

cooler and I'm comfortable. That's one thing when you head out for a walk and you anticipate

that what you're wearing is going to be adequate and then you get out and it's like,

yeah, I think I needed another layer. Or I don't think I needed quite this many layers.
