| 0:00.0 | Have you ever considered a walking vacation? |
| 0:07.0 | Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made yourself. |
| 0:16.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013. I still take an intentional fitness walk every single day. |
| 0:24.6 | I'm walking right now and I would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. |
| 0:29.6 | So with vacation season coming up, at least in the northern hemisphere, as the weather warms up and we're heading towards summer, |
| 0:38.5 | which I think for most people is the vacation season. Have you considered if you're taking a |
| 0:45.9 | vacation this year, where you might go, what you might do? Have you ever thought about taking |

| 2:02.2 | and then we'd go back for another couple of weeks before school started. |

| 2:14.0 | We loved the Outer Banks. |
| 2:16.5 | Probably is one of the reasons why we now live in Myrtle Beach. |
| 2:20.8 | In fact, when we moved here, when we told family, friends, coworkers that we were moving to Myrtle Beach, |
