Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent.

So let's go for a walk.

I am walking super early in the morning.

This might actually be one of my earliest walks ever, as is common here in the area

where we live, which is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

We have homes and businesses that run sprinkler systems early in the morning before the

sun comes up to keep the grass well watered.

And I'm walking past a business that has the sprinklers on and one is going to hit a sign

here in just a moment which is going to sound like that.

And it's always good to time as you're walking past these sprinklers to make sure they're not going to get you wet. And sometimes I have not timed that very well.

But it looks like this time, I made it.

I made it and I'm... Oh, there's a whole bunch more here.

And I'm not expecting a whole lot of traffic, although a car just drove by, because again, super early, earlier than usual, because if you've listened to this podcast for any length of time, and I'm about to get nailed by this water here, I didn't time that well.

If you've listened to walking its fitness for any length of time, you know that I'm a

morning person.

These episodes are recorded. Many of them before the sun comes up.

I used to do a morning radio show as part of a morning radio team for many years.

The alarm was set to go off at 3.30. And most mornings, I was up even before the alarm was set to go off at 3.30 and most mornings I was up even before the alarm.

I just just get up. The tough part for me isn't the mornings. It's always been going to bed at night.

Going to bed on time at night. And so for many, many years, I actually didn't get enough sleep.

I told myself it was okay.

I'll just get a nap when I get home from work.
