| 0:00.0 | Today I'm going to ask you for a favor. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking as Fitness, a daily 10-minute |
| 0:08.8 | podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk, |
| 0:14.8 | and even more importantly to keep going. Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this. |
| 0:23.6 | I wish you could have seen what I saw yesterday when I finished up the walk. |
| 0:27.6 | If you were listening, I mentioned that it was a foggy morning. It was cold. |

| 1:48.6 | particularly being aware of your surroundings. Sandy mentioned that she fell a couple of weeks ago, |
| 1:56.7 | actually it might have been several weeks ago, and the fall was serious enough that they had to call |
| 2:02.3 | the ambulance. She said that the purple and green bruises have gone away, but there are still a few |
| 2:10.1 | sore spots remaining, and in Sandy's case, she got distracted. So it sounds like she has one of those cell phone carriers that |
