Today's 10 minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent, so let's go for a walk.

We are in a little bit of a lull right now with Debbie. There is no rain at the moment. We're

expecting more rain as the day progresses.

The wind has picked up, as you can probably hear. It is certainly not hurricane force wind,

but it's stronger than it was yesterday, and it's supposed to increase even more as we go through the day.

We're also expecting more rain, but at the moment there is no rain. In fact, it's pre-sunrise,

although the sky off to the east is starting to brighten.

I can actually see as I look up, I can actually see a couple of stars.

So the clouds, there's a little bit of a break in the clouds.

We did have some rain maybe 30 minutes ago as I was getting ready to head out and record this morning.

There was a brief shower that moved through, but at the moment no rain. I've

got an umbrella with me. It is tucked in my back pocket. We didn't get as much rain yesterday

as it was expected. In fact, yesterday they were expecting anywhere from 12 to 18 inches of rain

total from the storm.

Now the total is expected to be 8 to 12 inches.

Today I want to talk about walking when the weather is severe.

Because weather can be one of the biggest excuses to not walk.

The weather presents a challenge and it becomes a reason not to walk.

Can't walk today because it's to fill in the blank, whatever that is for you.

And I'm not talking about dangerous weather.

I'm not talking about weather where your safety is in danger.

You know, right now I'm walking in, and I don't know how this sounds on the microphone.
