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. I don't know if you heard that. I'm going to

turn back around here and walking near some... You hear the bugs?

This was not something I was used to hearing in December in Maryland.

It's probably because, number one, colder in Maryland, and maybe the bugs go into hibernation

or whatever bugs do, when it gets as cold as it does in Maryland.

A little bit warmer here in South Carolina.

I'm also right now walking in a wooded area,

so I'm closer to trees and bushes

and probably a little more opportunity for the bugs to, well, do bug things.

In Maryland, most of my walks tended to be in our neighborhood, and while we had trees, it was different.

But probably the biggest thing is I just wasn't even paying attention.

And now that we're here in South Carolina, and even though it's been three years, I still

like, yeah, it's warmer here than it was in Maryland.

One of the reasons why we move 500 miles south.

Sorry, if you're in a place

that has bone-chilling cold temperatures right now, I used to feel your pain. I used to feel

your pain. But I'm enjoying the sound of bugs as I meander along today.

I saw something recently as I was walking along the trail behind our community,

and it reminded me of a movie and also of an email that I received from a listener.
