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've got a question that I'm going to ask you, but before I do that, I'm going to paint a picture.

So recently, Myrtle Beach held the Myrtle Beach Marathon and Half Marathon.

The course actually went through our community, or at least part of the course, went through

And embedded in that bib is a chip that when you cross these mats along the race route that registers who you are

and what time it is. And so at the end of the event, you can see exactly your official time for that event,
