Keeping that fitness promise you made to yourself is hard.

In other words, right now you are choosing to do a hard thing.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation.

Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since 2013 averaging just about 21,000 steps today. That is not my goal, but it's actually a

reflection of just how much I love walking. I'm doing it right now and would love to have you

join me for the next 10 minutes or so.

You can probably hear a breeze.

It is going to be a windy walk.

Now, I apologize if you are walking in cold temperatures.

The sound of wind probably is not going to make you feel any warmer.

But I will tell you that here in South Carolina, it's actually very mild and the wind feels, feels good. I've been able to say that for a while,

but we've got some apparently pretty nasty thunderstorms that are going to be rolling through

later today.

You know, we've got the warnings of flash flooding and that sort of thing.

But this is the thunderstorm pregame, I guess, because it's still many hours away, although it's pretty cloudy right now and

windy. I suspect when I get a little further along in my walk and I'm beyond this

grove of trees to my right,

that the wind is going to be a bit more noticeable.

So Jane left a review in Apple Podcasts. Jane, thank you.

A wonderful review.

And by the way, these ratings and reviews, which continue to grow and thank you,
