Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep your fitness promise, which adds another link to your growing fitness chain.

I am a little more watchful as I walk today.

I don't know if this was something that I needed to know or something that I wish I

didn't know, but someone just the other day saw a rattlesnake in our community. Rattlesnakes

are not popular down here. They're rare down here. I didn't even know we had them down here,

but apparently we do.

And this was not a small rattlesnake. This was a pretty large rattlesnake, and they

shot video of the snake slithering across the road into the woods. Now, I'm not walking

where that snake was seen, but I'm probably maybe maybe a mile, maybe a mile away.

And I'm walking an area where there are woods, and someone who knows snakes identified it as a timber rottler.

And I'm looking at timber. So I'm just keeping an eye out.

I'm just watching where I'm walking.

Yesterday, if you heard the episode of Walking as Fitness,

I was talking about no excuses

and folks who have developed that mindset

and just how powerful that mindset is.

I'm going to walk today and no excuses.

I mentioned Denise, who in the Star Today Facebook group, has a growing chain, fitness chain,

of taking a power walk every day, and her mindset is no excuses.

It doesn't matter if there's a thunderstorm, doesn't matter what the air quality index is, of taking a power walk every day. And her mindset is no excuses.

Doesn't matter if there's a thunderstorm.

Doesn't matter what the air quality index is.
