I'm really enjoying this, so it feels counterintuitive for me to say, this is hard.

I'm doing a hard thing. You're doing a hard thing.

I am Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast that provides you with a little

added motivation to get out and take the walk, which sometimes is a hard thing.
