| 0:00.0 | Let's go shopping. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation, encouragement to get out the door, take a short walk, but even more importantly, to build a life-changing walking habit. |
| 0:19.1 | Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this. |
| 0:26.6 | I hope you don't mind, but today we're going shopping. I'm walking to a bookstore, Barnes & Noble, |
| 0:32.6 | that is within walking distance of where we live. And I am going to purchase the brand new book Walk by Dr. Courtney Connolly and Dr. Melissa |
| 0:44.1 | McDowell. |
| 0:45.7 | Now if you were listening last week, I had a brief excerpt with a conversation that I recently |
| 0:53.3 | did with Dr. Connolly about this brand new book, |
| 0:56.8 | Walk, and it was released on May 5th. My hope is that this book becomes a national bestseller |
| 1:06.0 | and reignites a conversation about the benefits of walking. And to be clear, I have no vested interest |
| 1:13.1 | in this book doing well other than I want people to walk more. And prior to the interview, |

| 1:37.6 | I'm encouraging you to check out the book and so heading to Barnes & Noble and I'm going to |
| 1:44.0 | buy a copy of it. Could I get it cheaper |
| 1:47.4 | online? Absolutely. I could probably save what, maybe 10 bucks, 15 bucks, but here's the thing. I have |
| 1:54.0 | fallen in love again with reading. This has long been a passion of mine, but there was a season where wasn't reading as much. |
| 2:03.6 | My reading transitioned to online on my iPad, and I didn't like that as much, and I was reading less. |
| 2:10.6 | And I have started buying physical copies of books that I can mark up, write notes in, and almost all those books |
| 2:19.3 | are purchased at this Barnes & Noble. Have I spent more? Yes. But I want this physical |
| 2:26.3 | bricks and mortar bookstore to thrive. And I'm doing my very small part to keep to keep the bookstore going because I would be |
| 2:37.8 | literally brokenhearted if the bookstore closed so whenever I can I buy my books at the |
