Today's 10 minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made yourself and

we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain.

Temperatures are below normal for this time of years. I'm heading out.

Usually I leave the house and I walk for maybe 10, 15 minutes

before I actually start recording. Today it's cold. And my desire to be out longer than necessary

is probably smaller than usual.

And there's sometimes when I'll head out, start walking, and it just feels so good

that I don't want to turn around and head back.

Have you ever felt that way before?

Where the walking just feels good.

And whatever the promise is, it's like I'm going longer.

I've got the time.

I'm just going to walk longer.

And maybe I'll feel that way once I warm up.

But at the moment, like, it's cold. I think, I think my promise will suffice today.

When I was a boy, and I can't remember what age, probably 10, maybe 11 years old, I was a part of the Boy Scouts.

Actually did Cub Scouts, Wee Blows, and then Boy Scouts.

But I think it was in the Boy Scouts, where we went on an overnight camping trip.

It was my first trip overnight camping with the Boy Scout. So I had to gear up.

So dad took me out and we bought all the stuff I needed, including my very first camping backpack.

If I'm remembering correctly, we went to a Navy surplus store. I don't think the store exists anymore.

It was in Glenburn, Maryland, where we lived.
