It's not going to happen today. It's not going to happen during this walk. Of course, I was pretty sure it wasn't going to happen during that walk either.

I was wrong. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to walking as fitness. This is a daily podcast providing you with a little added motivation to get out and take the walk.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

This decision is not going to be a hard one to make.

Walking along, actually I'm walking in a grassy area,

getting ready to cross the street and then I'll be on the sidewalk and I'll be on the

sidewalk probably for most of today's walk but right across the street from where I

am is the entrance to the wooded trail which is a place I love walking.

But today, today not so much.

It's in the morning.

I wouldn't say it's super early.

Sun's been up for a couple hours at least.

It's warm.

I'm a little sweaty. I'm bait is what I am and I just know that if I walk through that trail I'm going to have more mosquitoes

than I want attaching themselves to me which means at least more than one.

So I'm going to pass the wooded trail.

I'm going to pass the ambiance of walking through the woods and trade it for the

ambiance of walking on a sidewalk next to a street, but no mosquitoes, or not as many mosquitoes. So it was actually on this street, not where I am now,

I was on the other side, walking in the other direction, but I can see where I was.

And I probably, this is about maybe 10 minutes from the house.

So I left the house, I was not recording the podcast, and it was already done for the day,

left the house, was going for a walk.
