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. Today's walk is happening in a light rain

without an umbrella. It's not that I'm trying to be a tough guy.

I checked the forecast before I left the house because I knew that rain was a possibility this morning.

Checked the forecast. It indicated that, nope, rain's not coming. Not while you're out walking, at least.

And so I left the house and I don't start recording the moment I leave. I usually walk someplace. And in this case, it's about 15 minutes away from the house. And I'm walking.

And just before I pressed record, the rain started falling. It's a light rain, but it is rain. It's the rain that

the app said is not coming. Well, here we are. Here we are. I am wearing, because I knew that there

was the possibility of rain, I guess maybe not totally

believing that it wasn't going to rain, and because I'm walking in an area that has what I call

grit, I'm wearing my grit shoes.

And I've mentioned these before.

These are shoes that it's okay to get gritty.

I'm not going to wear them in the house.

I'm going to take them off before I go in the house.

But the shoes that I typically wear when I'm out walking,

can you hear the rain?

It's coming down a little bit harder now.

Yay.

But the shoes that I typically wear when I'm out walking, walking with Ava, those shoes are new.

I just got a brand new pair of shoes.

They're new balance.
