Hey friends. Are you ready, ready to do this thing, this 10-minute walk together. Welcome to walking is fitness, a podcast of action. If you're just discovering the podcast and wondering what's going on here, this is not a podcast to inspire you or to motivate you to walk more, to get fit.

It's a podcast of action. We are walking together for 10 minutes, holding each other accountable as we create and maintain a lifestyle of fitness.

Hi, I'm Dave. It is a foggy morning here in South Carolina.

Looks like the fog is actually beginning to burn off about a half hour ago. As I was looking

out the window, the fog seemed much thicker. And I thought, oh, this is, this is going to be,

this is going to be fun. But now that I'm out here I can see that

there's still some fog but I can I can see above the fog through the fog and actually I

can see some clear sky so fog is fun to to walk, at least it is for me.

All right, so yesterday I walked about 25,000 steps.

How did you do?

It's not a competition, not a competition between me and you.

But, of course, as I've said before, I really enjoy the self-competition. I don't do it every day, but some days will push myself and see if I can do a little bit more than I think I can. Yesterday, 25,000.

A lot of those steps actually happened last night. Even I took our walk. We walk most nights.

Probably the only times we don't walk is if there's a health issue. And I guess if the weather is cold, windy, and rainy, even though I'll get out and do my

morning walk, I'm not sure.

We haven't had too many of those in the evening.

But regardless, even if it's cold and windy, we'll get out.

Last night, though, was none of those.

It was actually really nice, pretty mild.

And we started our walk before the sun set.

And I think the temperature yesterday was close to 70.

So, I mean, that's tough stuff there, right?
