Today's 10-minute walk is happening at something at a place that has been hiding in plain

sight.

I am Dave. Welcome to Walking as Fitness, a daily podcast that helps you build a habit of walking.

I'll explain. I'll explain where I am. Maybe you can start to hear some of it.

Today's 10-minute walk starts after this.

So in the recent walking-as-fitness listener survey, a comment that came up a couple of times, and not just in the survey, but also in some

other messages that I've received from listeners, listeners telling me how much they appreciate

the road trips. When I'm on the road, traveling, and taking you along, And so episodes have been recorded in Williamsburg,

Virginia, Destin, Florida, Baltimore, Maryland, Santa Barbara, California, Cape May, New Jersey, Las Vegas,

San Diego, Asheville. Been on the road and recorded some episodes while exploring

and walking and listeners have said they've really enjoyed those episodes.

And it occurred to me not too long ago that I live in a place that people travel to. I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

And I've heard that we get around 20 million visitors a year.

And other than the regular episodes that I record, it occurred to me,

well, I've actually never recorded episodes exploring

Myrtle Beach as a tourist. And so this week, it's Myrtle Beach Week, I'm going to take you along

to some of the more popular places here in Myrtle Beach, some of the places that quite a few of the 20 million

people who visit here annually see that are excited to see and so we begin Myrtle Beach

week as I'm walking on the boardwalk technically it's the boardwalk It's a 1.2 mile stretch of shops, restaurants, attractions, hotels, and so to my right is the Atlantic

Ocean.

I don't know if you can hear that or not. To my left right now are hotels and motels.

And the path that I'm walking, what is considered the boardwalk, is actually a paved walking trail that's kind of windy. It is summertime. We are in season here in Myrtle Beach.
