I'm all Barry, the headline. Today's episode is coming from the beach.

If you have been listening for any length of time, you know that I live in South Carolina, in Myrtle Beach.

Our house is two miles from the beach. And today, I've got the Atlantic Ocean right by my side.

It is early in the day. I can't tell if the sun has risen yet because we've got cloud cover.

A little breezy. Usually there's a pretty good amount of people on the beach to

watch the sunrise to take pictures of the sunrise selfies of the sunrise and today

not a whole lot of folks doing that because well you can't see the sunrise it is daylight the

beach is certainly it's not crowded at this point of the day early in the day but

we've got a few folks like me walking along the water's edge I can see in the

distance there are some people who are running and of course there are always a few who are walking very slowly, right at the edge looking for treasures that the ocean has deposited on the beach over the course of the night. This, by the way, if you've been paying attention,

my first walk, at least my first walk for the podcast on the beach in 2023. This is my favorite

place to walk. And at this point, you might be wondering, well, if it's your favorite place to walk

and you live two miles from the beach, why isn't every episode from the beach? Well, therein lies the

rub. 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 yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. Today's 10-minute

walk is powered by the Shocks headphones. These are the headphones that I use while I'm walking.

Yes, while I'm even walking at the beach.

I love these headphones.

These have been game changers for me.

I got my first pair several years ago, recently got a brand new pair as a birthday gift.

And as much as I love my old Shocks headphones, the new pair is even better.

They weigh less.
