Today's topic ended up being something completely different than what I expected.

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 to yourself. Hi, I'm Dave. I started walking

for fitness in 2013. Still take an intentional fitness walk every single day. I'm walking right now,

and I would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes. It's possible I might get rained on

during today's walk. I was sitting out on my back porch enjoying that first cup of coffee before I left the house.

It's dark, free sunrise.

And I heard what I thought was rain, but I wasn't thinking that rain was a possibility this morning.

Opened up the weather app on my phone and sure enough, not only is rain a possibility,

it's happening.

So I finished up that coffee, got ready, and before I left the house, grabbed that umbrella.

It is tucked in my back pocket. At the moment,

there is no rain, but there's also no daylight, but I cannot see, I cannot see any stars. And I just saw a flash.

A flashover of that way, which could have been lightning.

Well, now this could get really interesting.

So I want to give you a backstage pass in how each episode of this podcast comes to be.

I'll go through my day.

And if I think of something, see something, read something that feels like, you know,

that could be an interesting topic to talk about on the podcast.

I'll just write it down. I've got an app in my phone, the notes app, and I've got this ongoing list, and I'll

just write it down and move on. And then once or twice a week, I go back and I look at that list

and think about it a little bit more deeply. It's like, now, is this something I can talk about for 10 minutes that I would want to talk about for 10 minutes that would bring the listeners value for 10 minutes?
