In 2022, Betty Lindberg ran in the Atlanta Peachtree Road Race 10K.

And if you're not familiar with the whole kilometer to miles thing, a 10K is 6.2 miles.

So Betty ran 6.2 miles in Atlanta, and it was in the middle of summer. Betty was so

Betty rethought that decision to never run again and decided, I'm going to do this again. But this

time I'm going to hire a coach and a nutritionist, and I'm going to train better. I'm going to hire a coach and a nutritionist,

And on July 4th, Betty Lindberg

once again ran in the Atlanta Peachtree Road Race 10K,

6.2 miles.

Betty beat her 20-22 time by more than 22 minutes.

Now, this is walking as fitness, not running as fitness.

And you may be at this point wondering,

so where are we going with all this?

And that would be a really good guess, but it would also be a really wrong guess. Welcome to walking as 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. Today's 10-minute walk powered by my Fitbit. Yes, what gets measured, gets improved.

And when I got my first Fitbit more than 10 years ago,

it actually helped me to measure what I was doing with my fitness.
