All right, it's going to be epic, just not in the way that I expected.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you

with a little added motivation to get out the door and take the walk.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

So last summer, as Ava and I were walking, she casually, at least that's how it felt at the time, I think in retrospect it wasn't casual at all, she casually mentioned that there was going to be a 24-hour, her word, race, run at the end of January, in the community where we live.

Now, let me explain what a 24-hour run race is all about.

It's actually called the Myrtle Beach 24, the MB 24.

You can add the word race, you can add the word run if you'd like, but officially it's simply the MB 24.

And this is the weekend for the MB 24.

You sign up and I think they allowed 150 participants.

You sign up and you have 24 hours from 8 a.m. one morning until 8 a.m. the next morning.

And this is being held at the Grand Lake in Market Common.

And there's a little more than a one mile paved path around the lake.

And you have 24 hours to do that path as many times as you can.

You can stop, you can take a nap, you can eat.

Ava could come home. We're less than a mile from You can take a nap, you can eat.

Ava could come home.

We're less than a mile from this event.

And she can come home, take a nap, head back, and continue on.

But how many miles can you do in 24 hours?

You can run, you can walk.

You can run and walk.
