| 0:00.0 | Today's 10 minute walk is helping you create a walking habit you will love. |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, I'm Dave. If you're brand new, welcome. I want to offer you 90 days to a walking habit you'll love. |
| 0:13.0 | It's a five-part plan that I believe will change your life. And that's not an exaggeration. |
| 0:19.0 | It's free. There's a link in the show notes. So maybe as you've |
| 0:24.1 | been listening this week, you've noticed off and on that I sound perhaps a little different, |
| 0:30.5 | a little nasly, a little congested. That's because I got COVID for the first time last weekend. |
