Does counting steps complicate your life? Let's talk about it.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking as Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast that provides a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk,

and hopefully to keep going, to build some consistency. Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

In case you're watching, Today's 10 minute walk starts right after this.

In case you're wondering, yes, there is some sunshine this morning after three days of clouds and rain. I've got sunshine. In fact, I'm looking at it, not intently, but I haven't seen the sun in a while, so I'm enjoying this.

Actually, there are more clouds today than I expected.

I thought the forecast today was for mostly sunny.

Woke up this morning before sunrise, checked the forecast.

Pretty disappointed that the forecast for today had changed.

This morning was supposed to be foggy, cloudy,

some rain possible in the middle of the day, and then a return to mostly sunny skies tomorrow.

It's interesting, Ava and I are different when it comes to weather. When she says, what's the

weather going to be like tomorrow or later or whatever,

what she really wants to know, her top priority is tell me the temperature and the wind speed.

That's the most important aspect of the forecast for Ava.

When I say what's the weather going to be like, what I want to know is sky condition?

Is it going to be cloudy, sunny, a mix?

In fact, yesterday we were out walking, day three of the clouds and rain, and Avis says to me, asks me,

how you doing?

Because she knows this about me. I said, I'm all right.

We've got sunshine tomorrow, so there's light at the end of the tunnel.

And I am enjoying the light now that I've reached the end of the tunnel.
