Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made to yourself, and we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain.

This 10-minute walk for you has turned into a 40-minute walk at least for me.

So I do not start recording the moment I leave the house. I go to a recording location and it varies from day to day.

There are some locations that I really enjoy and will go back there more often than not.

But I've got a handful of different places where I can walk and record the podcast.

But all of them are at least 10 minutes away.

So left the house, arrived at where I wanted to record, and then realized I forgot a key piece of equipment. So as I've explained before, I record each episode on my iPhone. I use the corded earbuds

that Apple provides. I've played around with different microphones and this microphone delivers

the best sound. I have the microphone wrapped in a little windscreen so when it's windy,

it doesn't completely overwhelm the sound and I've also

discovered that the best sound is when the microphone is hanging from the bill of a baseball cap.

So as opposed to just hanging from my ears and the microphone typically you know we don't think

about it just kind of

rubs up against our shirt. Well, that provides a scratchy sound that is not really appealing,

so I've learned to attach the microphone to the bill of my baseball hat.

Except I got out here, ready to start recording, start walking, start talking to you,

and realized I left the clips that hold the microphone onto my baseball hat back at the house.

So I'd turn around, walk back home, get the clips, turn around again, come back here.

So I've already been walking 30 minutes.

And then once I finish, there's at least another 10-minute walk back to the house.

But gratefully, I love walking and it is not brutally cold today. It's cold, but it is not brutally cold today.

It's cold, but it's not brutally cold.
