Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent.

Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk.

Today is 48 years.

48 years ago today, walking history was made.

It was January 20th, 1977. Jimmy Carter was inaugurated president. He replaced Gerald Ford as the president of the United States.

And the walking history happened after he became president, but before he reached

the White House for the first time, it was the inaugural parade. And perhaps you even saw

some pictures of this recently after Jimmy Carter died towards the end of last year,

Jimmy and his wife, Rosalind, bundled up, walking, waving.

You can see the limousine in the background.

Secret service agents are nearby.

And I think we tend to look at that picture now, and there's nothing about it that is unusual because we're used to the new president getting out and walking at least a little bit during the inaugural parade.

They get out, they wave, the security around them is pretty intense. But Jimmy Carter

was the first president to do that. And the circumstances around that walk were actually

pretty remarkable. First off, it was a cold day. January 20th,

1977, 29 degrees, and it was windy. I don't know what the wind chill was, but it certainly was

colder than 29 degrees. It was a cold day for a walk.

And Jimmy and Rosalind Carter didn't just get out and walk a couple of blocks.

They walked pretty much the entire parade route, which was about a mile.

And it took about 30 minutes.

By the way, quick side note, Pennsylvania Avenue, which is where that inaugural parade takes place, where Jimmy and Rosalind Carter walked on that January 20th, 1977.

I've been in D.C. so many times.
