Today's episode of walking as fitness comes with a challenge.

At the end of the episode, I'd like you to sit down, maybe with a piece of paper, maybe with your phone, whatever, however you like to write things down.

And I'd like you to come up with 10 different places that you could walk today.

Maybe it's 10 places that you have walked, but write down 10 different places that if you had to, you could walk today.

Here's why I'm issuing this challenge.

I'll post on the Start Today Facebook group.

This was someone named Dana who also lives in South Carolina, although I don't know

where in South Carolina, but I suspect it's not near me in Myrtle Beach because I don't remember

this happening, but that I guess is beside the point. And Dana posted that she had to walk

somewhere else because there was an escaped fugitive in the woods behind her house.

And it had been two days. So obviously there was news that because of this fugitive, stay inside, don't go outside,

and Dana normally would walk in her neighborhood, I guess. And the escaped fugitive she couldn't do that didn't feel safe doing that understandably so she drove to the outlets and did her daily walk at the outlets. She had another place to walk.

This was helpful for me.

This exercise, this idea, this where else can you walk the other day because, well, I'll

tell you in a moment.

Welcome to walking is fitness. This is a podcast of

action providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made

yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. Today's 10-minute walk is powered by the Shocks headphones. These are

the headphones that I use when I'm out walking. I listen to primarily podcasts, but also music.

These headphones are cordless.

They connect to my phone via Bluetooth,

and my wife has had these far longer than I.
