Hi friends, welcome to walking is fitness, the podcast.

We finally have some sunshine here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

It's still a cold and windy day, but I think over the last three weeks, this may be only the second sunny day we've had here.

Of course, across the country, this winter has just been brutal.

If you live in Texas, my heart goes out to you and I've been praying for you.

If you live in Maryland, my home state of Maryland, you've been on the snow and ice train for three or four

weeks now. Even though we didn't have any, haven't had any snow here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,

it really has been tough. It's been a tough winter. We've heard from people who have lived here a lot longer than us.

This is our first winter here, and they've said this is the worst winter they've had,

and as long as they can remember. This week on the podcast, we're going to talk about how to turn

your walking now that you can get back outside. And as we get closer and closer to spring and warmer weather and all that that brings,

how to turn your walking into an adventure.

And I'm going to reference Bruce Botchy.

If you're a baseball fan, that name is familiar, one of the all-time great managers in Major League Baseball history.

If you're not a fan of baseball, don't worry.

This isn't going to be a podcast about that.

But Bruce not only loves baseball, he loves walking.

Even wrote a short book about it.

So this week we're going to talk about Bruce and how Bruce turned his walking into almost a daily adventure and how you can turn your walking into an adventure as well.

It keeps it fresh and fun and exciting.

So let's get to it.

Thanks so much for listening.
