Today I'm going to contradict everything I said yesterday.

Sort of.

Hi, I'm Dave.

Welcome to Walking His Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out the door, take the walk,

and even more importantly, to build a consistent, life-changing habit.

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

talked about the three things you must do if you want to have a habit of walking

that is still going strong a year from now. In other words, if you've just discovered

this podcast, if you have just made a resolution, a New Year's goal to walk consistently, maybe every

day, I talked yesterday about the three things that you must do if you want this to extend beyond the first couple of weeks of

January, if you want this to still be going strong a year from now. Today, I'm going to talk about

the one thing that makes those three things I mentioned yesterday irrelevant. So earlier this week, I set a new personal record with the game Wordle.

That's the daily five-letter word that you have six attempts to try to figure out.

I've been doing it for four years, like so many others when I initially started,

the goal was to get the word in as few attempts as possible. And then I decided,

I think it's more enjoyable if I try to string together this, this how many consecutive days can I can I get it so I

don't care whether I need four or five or even six attempts as long as by the

sixth attempt I've gotten the word right I'm good I'm happy and so far I've been

happy for 258 straight days and as soon as I finish this walk, I'm heading back home.

I'm going to pop down to my brown leather chair,

grab another cup of coffee, open the Wordle app,

and see if I can get to day 259.
