Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made yourself and

we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain.

I think this may be the coldest day we've experienced this winter.

Skies are clear.

I can see sunrise. The sun rises is beginning. Skies are clear.

I can see sunrise.

The sunrise is beginning off to the east.

Gratefully, the winds are calm, but it's cold.

I'm bundled up in a way that I haven't been all year. Grab the super heavy coat, the extra thick ski cap,

got gloves on, I've got my heavy socks,

and for the most part, I'm comfortable enough.

Comfortable enough.

I do find that when the temperature is a bit lower, I tend to walk faster.

I think that's in part because it keeps me warmer.

But also, there's probably the psychology of, well, if I walk faster, I'll get home sooner and I'll be warmer sooner.

And there's an aspect where that, of course, is true.

If I were to walk, my walk was based on a certain route, then walking it faster would get me home sooner if however my walk

is based on time a 10-minute walk a 30-minute walk doesn't matter how how fast or slow i'm going if i'm

committed to being moving for that amount of time I'm that's

going to take 30 minutes regardless of how fast I walk but the quicker pace does does

I think keep me a little bit warmer winter is tough winter is tough and as much as I love walking, it is more of a challenge to open that door and step outside on days like today.
