Shell had something terrible happen while walking.

You'll hear more about that during our walk today.

Hi, I'm Dave.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a daily podcast that encourages you

and gives you a little motivation,

a little extra motivation to create and maintain a habit of walking. Today's walk starts in just a moment.

Today's 10 minute walk is happening under blue sky and brilliant sunshine and it is I'm going to call this warm others might define

this a little bit differently hey Bruce how you doing it's getting warm. Yes, it is.

Yeah.

That's a neighbor of ours.

He lives in our community.

And ever since we moved in, about four and a half years ago, I've seen Bruce out pretty consistently walking. He takes long walks, walk in the rain, walk when it's hot, walk when it's cold. And I should

ask him, I haven't yet, and I don't know why. I should ask him how far he walks every

day. This is a message that I got from Shell.

Shell writes,

Thank you so much for getting me back into my daily walk habit.

After being put off for many months when I was clipped by a car while I was out walking. I started slowly only going to the top of my road at first.

Now I go out in a high vis vest, so a high visibility vest, and I'm still a bit nervous.

But I'm much more aware of my surroundings and I'm starting to enjoy it again.

And I responded to Shell, what a terrible experience that is.

And of course it's going to take time to get comfortable walking outside again.
