Today's 10 minute walk is helping you create a walking habit you will love.

Hi, I'm Dave. It's good to be back in Myrtle Beach. Always fun to get away.

Always fun to come back home. And by the way, I did learn something.

Yesterday's episode, if you heard that, it was on Stearns

Wharf in Santa Barbara, California, and check that out and hear why, Ava and I were in California

for a quick trip. But as I was walking on this pier, which is old, it was built in the 19th century,

I was wondering if the wood that I was walking on

was part of the original pier. If this was the original wood, well after I finished recording that episode, I did learn that

the pier has been hit multiple times by some pretty significant fire. So very likely that the wood I was walking on was not the

original lumber, was not the original pier. Happy first day of spring. I know. If you're

brand new to this podcast, you're probably wondering what in the world is he talking about?

Well, the weather scientists of the world all say that today, March 1st, good morning.

How are you?

Well, that today March 1st, someone else out for an early morning walk here in Myrtle Beach,

today March 1st is the first day of spring. It's the meteorological

first day of spring. They look at the weather calendar differently. If you're looking for something

encouraging, happy first day of spring. I also think March 1st is maybe the best day to get started on a new fitness commitment because you have March,

April, and May. You're still going to have some cold days in there. You can have some warm days

in there, but it's largely empty of the weather extremes, the coldest part of winter or the hottest part of summer.

So it gives you an opportunity to get this thing locked down.

And I believe that a habit of walking, a daily habit of walking, is going to change your life.

There are tremendous benefits.
