Keeping that fitness promise we made to ourselves is hard. In other words, right now, you are choosing to do a hard thing. And how many people do we know when given the choice between hard and easy intentionally choose hard it's not too many welcome to walking as

fitness this is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation to keep that fitness promise

you made to yourself hi i'm dave i've been walking for fitness since 2013 averaging just under

21 000 steps a day.

That's not my goal.

But really, it is a reflection of just how much I love doing this.

And you can probably hear the wind.

The weather, and I need to take care of the words I'm about to use right now,

the weather here in South Carolina has decided to go in the opposite direction.

I thought we were on this steady, forward, consistent progress towards summer with warmer temperatures,

more birds in the air. I'll even take the bugs flying around as summer gets closer and closer and closer.

Yeah, we've done a U-turn.

Now, I'm taking care of the words I choose

because I don't know if you've seen a couple of the more recent reviews

in Apple Podcasts.

Thank you, by the way.

I love these reviews.

These are helping others make decisions to listen and perhaps even begin a walking journey themselves.

But a couple of listeners in one in Wisconsin and another in Minnesota.

And the review from the listener in Minnesota specifically mentioned how this podcast was helpful in getting through the winter in Minnesota.

Okay. Winters in Minnesota. Winters in South Carolina. No comparison.

So, you know, what I got going on here right now in Minnesota probably would be like early summer.
