Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made to yourself, and

we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain. Today, I'm walking along a route that I've

never walked before. So one of the advantages of where we live, in fact, it was one of the appeals of

moving here is that this is a very walkable community, a very walkable area. It was actually

designed with that in mind. So I can head out my front door and go in a multitude of different directions, and I could probably, if I wanted to, I could probably create a different walking route every single day.

Now, some of those differences would be more in the nuance.

You know, yesterday I turned left, so today I'm going to turn right.

But I've seen this street, maybe not in conjunction with a walk,

and from this particular direction, but I could nuance my way to a completely different walk every single day.

But today is a little bit more than that.

I'm actually exploring an area that I have never walked on before,

either recording an episode of walking as fitness or simply just out for a walk. And it's a field. I think this field is an old

landfill that they don't use anymore. Not entirely sure about that, but I saw some signs.

There's a field to my right, to my left is a stream. And it looks like they've done some work on this stream, maybe

clearing it out a bit. One of the things that we have to be concerned about living here in

Myrtle Beach are tropical storms. And with the tropical storms, the hurricanes come heavy rain. Now, we're not

in hurricane season, so it's certainly not an issue now. But these streams and these lakes that I talk about

are really to help with rain runoff when these big storms with a lot of moisture come through the area.

And I wonder if this stream, which is connected to a lake, which is connected to another lake, which is behind our community,

I wonder if they're clearing it out, widening it a bit simply as being proactive for potentially named storms that might

come through Myrtle Beach at some point in the future. It's just part of what they do every

year and I just have never walked back here to see this. What was your turning point? The trigger for fitness for you? Welcome to Walking is Fitness.
