How do you feel about super achievers or maybe more to the point, how do super achievers make you feel about yourself?

Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made to

yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013. Still take an intentional fitness

walk every single day. I'm walking right now and I would love to have you join me for the next

10 minutes. As the weather continues to warm up here in South Carolina,

Abe and I are taking advantage of the mild spring.

And I kind of like their calendar. So for me, spring began March 1st. So we are in it right now.

And it's feeling like it, which is nice. And so, Abe and I have been taking advantage of the warmer weather.

It's not exactly warm yet, but it is getting warmer.

And we've been going out for our late afternoon walk together.

And there is a big lake near the center of town, call it the Grand Lake.

And a couple of times now we've looped around the lake as part of our walk.

And yesterday afternoon was one of those times.

I'm not sure how often we're going to keep doing this because on the backside of the lake,

there's a stretch that's probably quarter mile, maybe even a half mile long,

where there are so many gnats.
