I'm going to lean into some tension today. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking as Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, and to keep going. Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

Here's the construction.

I'm going to give you a little backstage pass.

I am in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Today's episode is recorded at Myrtle Beach State Park. So you can come here, you can camp.

There's a campsite, which is maybe a half mile from where I'm walking. I've got the ocean

and the beach to my right. And at the moment, I'm walking on a little boardwalk.

I don't know how long this boardwalk is.

This is not the main boardwalk for Myrtle Beach, where I recorded, I think it was a week ago,

recorded an episode on that boardwalk.

This is a much smaller boardwalk that runs alongside the dunes right by the beach and the ocean.

So during off-season, which is where we are now, this is where a lot of the stuff happens,

the repairs, the replacements, the refurbishing.

So they are replacing quite a few boards on this boardwalk.

And where I'm walking, it's probably like two out of every three boards on this boardwalk are brand new.

And they're in the process of replacing those and they'll have it done

before the season starts and people start flooding into Myrtle Beach on vacation. So I'm leaving

the boardwalk and I'm actually going to be heading onto the beach. So today's episode is going to be recorded on the beach so today's episode is going to be

the temperature a little warmer than we've had the last several weeks it's not

what I would call beach weather but by comparison to what we've had, it feels like beach weather. I'm not layered
