Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made to yourself,

and we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain.

Most days, almost all the days, when I come out and walk and record the podcast, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to talk about, the value that I want

to communicate to you. Today, I thought I would do it a little bit differently. I haven't thought

anything about what I'm going to talk about. This is going to be total stream of consciousness.

It is early in the morning.

There's no daylight.

I've got a flashlight, which, seriously,

just went dead.

I use this every now and then.

Okay.

I don't know how long this is going to stay lit.

I'm walking across the wooden bridge right now that is over top of a stream, which goes into the lake that was created along with the community that is built here where we live.

And since we get hurricanes, they wanted these lakes, we've got these lakes all around the area,

which essentially are there for storm runoff. And so when there are no storms, it's a calm lake,

people fish, people walk along the lake, and there's this little stream and a little wooden bridge over the stream.

But after a storm with an awful lot of rain, that little wooden bridge is covered in water and the level of this lake is much higher.

But I think they have the ability to control how much water is in these

lakes. They're connected, I've been told that, they're connected, and they can

actually drain the lakes into the ocean, which is two miles that way. And so I'm

walking along.

Looks like a little dirt trail alongside the lake.
