Before I pressed record, I saw something here in Myrtle Beach while walking that I don't think I've ever seen before.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness. This is a daily podcast providing you with a little added

motivation to get out and take the walk and today's

10-minute walk starts after this as you probably know listen if you listen to more than one

episode of this podcast rarely do I press record as I'm walking out of the house. There

have been a couple of episodes or I've actually started in the house and then

left and started the walk that way but typically I don't tap record until I've

been out walking for just a bit. And I was out walking before tapping record on a trail behind our community.

A little darker than it is now actually, I think we're right around sunrise.

Hard to tell this is one of those cloudy days where the sunrise is not going to be making paintings and photos that sell quite a few copies. It's one of those days where it just gets lighter and lighter with this cloud cover. Anyhow, it was

pre-sunrise as I was out walking. I'm on this trail behind our community and an

animal came out from a wooded area onto the trail. was maybe 10 feet a small animal and I stopped

because I'd not seen one of these before while walking and I don't know that

it's the type of animal that I want to start playing with.

Like, oh, how cute.

Looked a little mangy, actually.

It was a possum.

A little possum came out on the trail, stopped, looked around, saw me.

I pulled my phone out, gently, gradually.

I wanted to take a picture, and then he scooted back into the woods.

Not long ago, I was in Colonial Williamsburg without Ava.

It was a personal retreat.
