| 0:00.0 | Today's walk is starting with geese. |
| 0:05.0 | That's right, geese. |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, I'm Dave, welcome to walking his fitness, a daily 10-minute walk, |
| 0:11.0 | helping you with a little added motivation to get out the door and take the walk, |
| 0:16.0 | and probably even more importantly, to do it consistently, perhaps even every day. Today's 10-minute walk |
| 0:22.5 | starts right after this. So I mentioned the geese, and I'm looking at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 geese. |

| 1:31.3 | And my guess is if I ran towards the geese, which I'm not going to do, |
| 1:35.3 | but I've ran towards the geese, |
| 1:38.3 | the lookout goose would probably come towards me and start hissing. |
| 1:45.0 | I'm going to leave the area, walk back across the street, |
| 1:49.0 | start walking, let the geese enjoy their meal. |
| 1:52.0 | I want to share with you something I saw on Instagram. |
