So my goal isn't to make you uncomfortable, but today I want to talk about the value of discomfort.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking as Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation,

a little encouragement to get out, take the walk, and more importantly, to keep going. Today's 10 minute walk starts right after this.

Another frosty morning in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, not quite as frosty as yesterday, but still a good amount of frost on the ground and a good amount of frost on

the windows and windshield of our car, but neither Ava nor I have to go anywhere early this morning,

so I didn't have the pleasure of an ice scraping workout. It was a workout yesterday.

I walked back into the house like, man,

forgot how hard that could be,

scraping ice off the windshield and the windows.

So we are three days away from what I'm calling an epic weekend,

and the dynamic of the weekend is changing.

Should know in the next day or two whether it has permanently changed,

but either way it's going to be epic.

And so I'm going to take you along for that journey.

Today I want to talk about a theme that has been growing in importance for me personally. I did a video about this last week. You might have seen it on YouTube.

The title, something along the lines of, this part of getting older scares me it was

triggered by two videos that I had watched the previous week one was titled the

harsh realities of turning 72 and in that video one of the things the guy talked about was he said,

I've still got energy, but I'm losing stamina.

And he mentioned walking two miles.

He said it was something that he used to do without any problem.

And now at 72, it's a challenge.
