Yesterday it was all about finding the alligator. Today I'll be happy if I see a beaver.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to help you

stay motivated to take a consistent, maybe even daily walk. Today's 10-minute walk gets started right after this.

Hard for me to remember all 1,400 episodes of this podcast, but I think that yesterday's might have been the most fun for me to do. It was all about the quest, the search for an alligator. I'm not at Huntington Beach State

Park today back in my own community walking alongside a lake that I've walked alongside

many, many times. We actually have seen an alligator in here, but it's been several years.

Now, probably the most exotic, unusual creature in this lake would be a beaver,

which I see every now and then has a unique profile as it glides through the water.

Speaking of fun, the walking friends community has been a ton of fun.

A little more than a week old, dozens of people that have joined and are part of this community.

And I just want to share some of the comments from these listeners.

One of the longer ad-free episodes is me doing the Japanese interval walking workout for the first time.

Don listened to that longer episode.

He said, I've been doing this for a month, started at 15 minutes and just worked up to 30

minutes today with this episode.

Since no one else does this with me, it was nice to have you as a walking friend.

Thanks.

Don, thank you.

Philippa said, thank you, Dave.

The longer episodes are great.

Linda, with a sample size of having listened to two of your 30-minute episodes thus far,

I have to say, I know I made a good decision subscribing to this longer format.
