I really used one of the powerful benefits of walking this week.

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 to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I'm walking right now and would love to have you

join me for the next 10 minutes. As you can probably tell, I'm indoors, actually at the radio

station. It's been fundraiser week. I'm on the second floor of our building. This is the space where our account executives work.

We have some creative content people up here as well.

They're not here at the moment because I wouldn't be doing this if they were.

I think this would be very distracting, both for that man, for me, honestly.

It's been a challenging week.

Fundraiser weeks tend to be challenging.

This one even more so, as you can probably imagine, and perhaps you're feeling it as well.

We're, weren't some choppy economic waters.

And it is making it more challenging for some people to give.

So the number of listeners who are donating to our radio station is down pretty significantly from our last fundraiser.

And my job is to direct these fundraisers. In other words, I'm responsible for figuring out the messaging, how to communicate the need and how to ask listeners to become a part of what we're doing by donating.

Candidly, at times, it's stressful, and I get anxious.

And this week, probably more so than others.

In fact, there have been a couple of mornings where I've actually awakened a little

after midnight doing math in my head. I mean, it's like, what? And so in the middle of these

long days, I have come up here to the second floor of the radio station, which has been empty all week, actually.

A lot of these folks are now working from home.
