There's value in playing the long game, but just how long are we talking?

Hi, I'm Dave, welcome to walking as fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast providing you with a little added motivation

to get out the door, take the walk, and to build consistency.

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

In my weekly email that went out yesterday morning, I mentioned that it feels colder

this December than what we're used to here in Myrtle Beach, even though it's within the range of normal temperatures.

Within a couple of hours of that email hitting inboxes, I got this from Tara.

I'm in Somerville, South Carolina, near Charleston, which is about two hours from where we are.

I'm in Somerville, South Carolina, near Charleston, and I'm with you. I think

it's been colder. I'm not looking forward to February at this rate. Tempts may be within

normal range, but I think we're getting more days on the low end of the range. Thankfully,

yesterday was a full day of sunshine and the temperature actually got close to 60 degrees in the afternoon.

I took advantage of that.

Went outside, put the Christmas lights on the bushes in front of our house.

Of course, because it was really bright, I had no idea how well I was doing.

And it wasn't until after the sunset, it was like, oh, I think I'll

give myself a C-minus on that. Also yesterday got this message from Mike. He's down in Texas.

Out walking, just listen to your Getting Stronger episode. That's my year of Getting Stronger. Talked

about that yesterday.

Funny that you posted this because I've been thinking the same thing. I've been watching Dr.

Peter Attia on YouTube talking about aging. I definitely need to get stronger and I like your

idea of coming up with what that means.
