Walking doesn't have to be either or. It can be both and. That was the focus of yesterday's walk,

and I want to apply it to today, literally today. Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness,

a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation

to get out the door take the walk and keep going today's 10-minute walk starts right after this

even i looked at each other several times yesterday and laughed.

Christmas Day, sunshine, 72 degrees.

Not what we're used to.

All but one of our Christmases have been spent in Maryland.

We've lived here five years in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but most of the years,

we've gone back to Maryland to be with family. This year, we did a lot of traveling, California

a couple of times, Florida a couple of times, Maryland more times than we can actually remember trips to spend time with family and

friends, but mostly family, kids, grandkids. And we saw everybody except for one of our sons who

stayed out in California with his wife, new wife.

We saw almost all of our kids and all of our grandkids for almost an entire week, the week of Thanksgiving.

So just three weeks ago, we decided to hang here in Myrtle Beach, catch our breath and enjoy Christmas a little differently. We had a couple of friends over,

actually four friends, two who also are from Maryland, who've moved down here in the last

year and a half, and some new friends who live in the neighborhood next to ours.

We spent yesterday enjoying Christmas brunch at our house.

Ava and I went for a couple of walks in the afternoon,

enjoyed that delightful weather,

and then grilled burgers for Christmas dinner.

It was great, but we looked at each other multiple times and just laughed.
