Keeping that fitness promise we made to ourselves is hard.

In other words, right now, you out walking means you are choosing to do a hard thing.

Now the hard thing isn't the walk.

The hard thing is keeping that promise,

even though you may not feel like it. Some days you do. Hopefully most days you love doing this,

but there are going to be days when you don't. When you don't feel like going out for the walk,

when you just don't feel like thinking about it,

when the weather is challenging,

when your schedule is overwhelmed,

or you're just feeling tired.

That's the hard part of keeping that fitness promise.

So walking every day, you are choosing to do a hard thing.

Welcome to walking as fitness.

This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to keep that fitness promise to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave.

I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging just about 21,000

steps a day. That is not my goal, but really is a reflection of how much I love walking. And I am

walking right now and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes or so.

And as you can probably tell, I am near an airport.

And a flight is just taking off, which you can hear.

It's one of the things about this podcast, if you are brand new, it is, it's raw.

You're going to hear the things that are happening around me.
