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

we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain. I'm out early in the morning. The

sun has not yet risen. It is dark. I'm walking along an access road through a wooded area.

And at this time I actually brought a flashlight.

So I can see what's going on.

I don't want to trip over anything because this access road,

which used to be part of the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, and I've talked about this

before, it's paved, but there's all kinds of debris on the pavement because it's not used.

At least it's not used consistently, so there could be large sticks or anything else. And if I can't, okay, something,

did you hear that? Something there in the woods just started moving around. So this walk is going

to be a little bit of an adventure as well. What's back here?

It's funny because I have walked back here during the day and it just has a whole different look and feel.

And I think there's something about the flashlight that actually makes it, for me,

feel even creepier than if I was just walking along the path without the flashlight. Which

makes no sense, but I'm half tempted to turn the flashlight off. Nope, we'll leave it on.

One of the ongoing debates that pops up from time to time among listeners to this podcast,

and I certainly see it in the media, is this question of which is better, walking or running?

Have you ever asked that question?

Let's talk about it.

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.
