Got an email from Fawn yesterday. She writes, Dave, love your podcasts. I've been listening forever. Also a long-time walker.

Can't help, though, but caution you on the rock sack idea. And Fawn actually makes a really good point. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a daily podcast, providing you with a little added motivation to take the walk.

And today's 10-minute walk, which includes the rest of Fawn's email, starts after this.

I can't believe it almost happened again. Actually, that's not true.

I can believe it almost happened again because that's how I roll.

It seems like any time I decide to start something new, I forget.

I have a hard time remembering.

Putting on my shoes, getting ready to head out for today's walk day two of the seven-day walking challenge.

Putting my shoes on, thinking about the podcast, what I was going to say, and then glanced across the room

to see my rucksack sitting on a chair and in that moment was reminded oh right right

I'm going to be wearing the rucksack and I'm sure if I hadn't seen it I

would have headed out the door probably when I started recording I would have

thought oh forgot, turned around,

hit it back to the house, put the rucksack on. If you're wired like me, this is one of the huge

advantages of if you listen to the podcast and Apple Podcasts, of tapping follow,

because every episode will be waiting for you, but even more valuable, you get a notification.

So you turn your phone on, notification, new episode available, it can serve as a reminder

to take the walk, And sometimes that is super

important. It is day two of the seven day walking challenge. Brett says, I accept the seven day

challenge. My challenge is to go to bed by 10.30 every night. I already have a great deal of success with taking at least a 10-minute walk each day.

I've been an avid listener for about nine months,

but I really need to focus on the benefits of sleep, which I'm not even close to maximizing.
