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.

It is a cold morning.

I am layered up.

I have my industrial strength ski cap. This is the thickest ski cap I have.

This is the hat that I grab when I'm thinking it's going to be pretty uncomfortable when I walk out that door.

And I have learned that if my ears are warm, the rest of me can sort of fake it.

But if my ears are cold, it doesn't matter how many coats I'm wearing, how thick my socks are,

how big the gloves I'm wearing are. If my ears are cold, the rest of me is cold as well. Eva, on the other hand, we'll go out for a walk and I've

got the industrial strength ski cap on and she's not wearing a hat at all.

It's like, seriously?

I mean, I know your hair is thick and it's beautiful, but that can't be keeping your ears warm.

But for her, it just, it doesn't matter.

And I'll see other people out on really cold days with their ears not covered.

It's like, how do you do this? But for me, it's all about the years.

In the summer of 2021, as Ava was recovering from the accident, her recovery was well underway. I was headed to a doctor's

appointment myself, and on the way to the appointment, I felt this intense anxiety. It didn't hit me

like a ton of bricks. It kind of ramped up as I was driving

to the appointment. And I'm still not entirely sure what caused it. There were some work issues

that I had been thinking about that were causing me some stress.

So that was certainly part of the mix, but these were not issues that normally would have

made me feel anxious.
