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. Doing something a little different today.

I've got, when I leave the house, I can go in a bunch of different directions. Literally, I can go straight, I can turn

right, I can turn left, and whatever initial decision I make, and I begin walking in that direction,

I've got throughout my walk other decisions that I can make, left, right, straight. And I can probably create, depending on how

It's like, okay, first day of winter, it's just started, but the days are also starting to get longer.

So we're getting more daylight, but I still tend to be out here before the sun comes up.

And I'm looking to see if there's anything happening in the lake that is worth talking about and there is not.

I don't even see anything on the lake.

So if you began this adventure, this commitment of walking for fitness, for exercise at the beginning
