Today I want to give you a backstage pass into something that I've been, I guess, struggling with.

It's probably not being too dramatic and how walking is helping.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to help you find a motivation to get out,

take the walk, and to keep moving, especially on those days when it might be a little bit harder to get out the door.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

So I had what I'm calling a bit of an epiphany recently. So I work for a radio station that is a nonprofit station, and we do two fundraisers a year,

spring fundraiser and a fall fundraiser.

And that's my primary responsibility,

being in charge of these fundraisers,

creating the strategy for each one of the fundraisers directing the fundraisers in the

moment and I'm actually in Maryland in the radio station those are long days it's a

week long and we did the fall fundraiser this year and that was the 25th fundraiser that I've been a part of.

And I've been aware that each year these fundraisers are becoming more stressful for me.

And I think part of it is age.

You know, I would prefer not admitting that, but that's probably part of it.

I think also part of it is just understanding the importance, the greater awareness of the importance of these fundraisers

and how they impact the station's ability to keep moving forward and the impact the station's ability to keep moving forward and the impact it has on my

colleagues and co-workers having a successful fundraiser is very important and I'm

aware of that I feel that I'm responsible for that

and so the stress that I've been feeling has been increasing

but I'm also and this is a bit of the epiphany I'm also now more aware that

it's not just the fundraisers.
