Guess what tomorrow is? 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.

Tomorrow is March 1st.

And if you have been listening to this podcast, you know that I adhere to the meteorological seasons, not those that

appear on the calendar. So on your calendar, or if you were to Google, when is the first day of

spring, and this would be for the Northern Hemisphere, you will get the answer March 20th,

which means we still have another three weeks before spring begins.

But if you're a weather scientist, if you're a meteorologist, first day of spring is tomorrow, March 1st.

First day of summer, June 1st.

And their rationale isn't simply because we're ready for the seasons

to change or, you know, the first of the month is just a clean beginning. No, their rationale is that

this is when the weather really begins to change. This is when it really begins to feel more like spring and less like winter.

Same thing with June 1st.

It's when it begins to feel more like summer and less like spring.

And so they actually have data.

They've got numbers. If you sit down with a meteorologist and say, now, why do you believe that March 1st is the first day of spring?

Well, they'll show you data.

Here's why.

I don't need to see the data.

I'm ready for spring.
