At the end of the first quarter, I want to give you an update on my year of getting stronger,

both the good and the bad. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness. A daily 10-minute podcast

designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, and more importantly, to build a life-changing

walking habit. Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this. We had some thunderstorms

roll through last night, which was actually kind of cool. I love thunderstorms.

And the really cool part of these thunderstorms is this morning.

It is windy. It is about 15 degrees cooler than it was yesterday.

And this is even here in South Carolina the roller coaster venue known as

spring we have the really comfortable mild days and then we have the occasional

day like today where I have to remind myself, it is spring.

This is a one-off.

Actually, it might be a two or three off before temperatures get back to where they were before

the thunderstorms.

So it has been three months since I started my year of getting stronger. And today,

I want to tell you how things are going, both the good and the bad. First, let me set the, paint the picture.

My year of getting stronger, the whole point behind it,

the focus is to pick an activity

and take an entire year and build on that activity

that hopefully intentionally makes me stronger.

So my activity was walking with a weighted vest.

Now it's an entire year but my year of Stronger can be started at any time, not

simply January 1st.
