I don't have any motivation. Help.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a podcast of action providing a little extra motivation

to help you keep that fitness promise you made to yourself because isn't that really the hardest part of fitness? Hi, I'm Dave. I've

been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging just about 21,000 steps a day. I am walking right now

and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. A little cooler than it has been recently. I can still feel the humidity.

Skies are mostly clear and we've got a bit of a breeze. Thanks for joining me as we walk.

Part of a Facebook group called the Conqueror community.

David, thank you for that suggestion.

And it's been a lot of fun looking at different posts and answers.

And these are folks who are pursuing fitness and doing hard things.

Okay, so something just walked across the path, maybe 50 yards ahead of me,

and it was either a coyote, which we've had, or a large fox.

And I'm going to venture coyote.

And so now I'm cautiously walking forward because I've read that coyote can be,

can be dangerous. They're nocturnal creatures, and I'm kind of on the edge of nocturnal at the moment. It's pre-sunrise, but we've got early daylight. And I read that if you come face to face with a coyote, what you want to do is scream and throw something at it.

So screaming I can do, and the only thing I have to throw at it is my phone.

And I'm not sure I want to do that.

I've just about reached the place in the woods where the coyote, so there's a path there. So it came down

the path and then walked across. I don't see anything on that side of the woods. So I guess I'm

all right. Maybe the fact that I'm talking is scary enough for the animal.

Not necessarily talking loudly.
