Today I want to talk about a topic that is really sensitive and for you might be something

that's really, really hard. 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 to

yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking for fitness in 2013. Still take an intentional fitness

walk every single day. I'm walking right now and I would love to have you join me for the next 10

minutes. All right, before we get to the sensitive, hard topic, it is a beautiful morning.

I'm walking pre-daylight, pre-sunrise, although early daylight is off to the east right now.

And I'm actually walking in a location because I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,

and I'm walking in a location where I can see

some of the oceanfront hotels.

I can't see the ocean.

That's on the other side of the hotels.

And on the other side of that is that early daylight. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful sunrise.

Hope the weather and the conditions where you are are enjoyable as we walk together.

I'm aware that often I will talk about Ava, my wife,

and how we walk together most days and how we love that.

And we will go for short walks, we'll go for medium walks, we'll go for short walks we'll go for medium walks we'll go for long walks

and it's a great way to connect and pursue fitness together now we have other things that we do

separately she's an avid runner and she pursues that without me.

I do more walking than just the walking that she and I do together.

I also enjoy riding my bike most days, and I do that without her.

But almost every single day, we are walking together.
