Today's 10-minute walk is helping you create a fitness habit you're going to fall in love with.

Hi, I'm Dave. Hi, drama on the podcast today. I'm using my inside voice, or if you watch the

masters a couple of weeks ago, I'm using my golf announcer voice. Here's the deal.

I'm walking through the neighborhood where I'm staying before heading home. It is super early,

and I don't want to alarm anyone who might be awake. I don't want them to hear the sound of someone walking outside,

talking, you know, and what happens because it's early, it's unusual. They look out the window,

they check and they see a man talking to himself. And that can be a little disconcerting also feels very awkward for me so

and the other thing is the houses in this neighborhood are really close to the sidewalk as I'm

walking by a house now it might be what what is this, 20 feet?

20 feet from the sidewalk.

So anyhow, using my golf announcer voice for today's episode.

The other thing is I really don't want to see someone else who's walking.

Actually, I don't care if I see them.

I don't want them to see me.

Someone who might be out early

enjoying a walk, taking the dog out. Anyhow. So I've got a long drive from Maryland to South Carolina.

Drive usually takes anywhere from seven to nine hours depending mostly on the traffic right around Washington, D.C., which is one of the reasons to get a super early start, because that traffic in the D.C. area, Maryland to D.C. on the Capitol Beltway, and then leaving DC can be

not fun

so I'm trying to get an early start

so I can avoid all of that

plus 7 to 9 hours depending on traffic

that's a lot of sitting
