Hi, friends. Thank you for joining me for today's 10-minute walk. Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action as we hold each other accountable for keeping our commitment to fitness.

We do this by taking a 10-minute walk every day. Hi, I'm Dave,

and yesterday wrapped up with 22,000 steps on my Fitbit Inspire 2. And for the third day in a row,

the weather is rather interesting.

So two days ago, it was, the temperature wasn't bad, but it was very windy.

And the entire podcast probably sounded like I was walking in a wind tunnel.

Yesterday, the temperature, again, not too bad, but it was raining, and it got interesting.

So for the first 10 minutes of my walk, which is when I do the podcast.

It was a light rain.

In fact, it even stopped raining towards the end.

And then I kept going after our 10-minute walk together, kept going. And the final 20 minutes of my walk yesterday, my morning walk yesterday, was really not fun.

The rain went from this steady, oh, isn't that nice?

Hey, it's kind of fun to walk in the rain to a pretty consistent downpour, which would have been okay on its own. But at the same time, the wind picked back up,

and I was back in this wind tunnel, and the temperature was dropping, so it was a cold, very windy,

heavy rain walk for about 20 minutes, and the umbrella. I actually was using as a windscreen more than anything

else. In fact, at one point, my wife called me and said, would you like me to come pick you up?

And I was fine.

I was actually heading back towards the house,

and I figured I would tough it out for the final 20 minutes.

So that was yesterday today.

No rain.
