Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent, so let's go for a walk.

Early in the morning, if you listen consistently to this podcast, that's probably the most commonly used phrase in all of the episodes.

I'm out early in the morning.

It's pre-sunrise.

It's dark.

No one else is out here.

And all of that is true today.

It is pre-sunrise.

I think it is so pre-sunrise that I'm not even going to see a hint of early daylight during our walk.

As I'm scanning the sky, I'm not a meteorologist, and I've never quite understood the distinction between partly cloudy and partly sunny.

Clearly, it's not partly sunny because there is no sunshine. Partly mooney?

I don't even see the moon.

But it's partly cloudy.

I can see some stars, but I also can see quite a few clouds.

I think there's the possibility for a thunderstorm later today.

And the wind is calm.

Very calm.

One of the other things you've heard me say quite frequently

is that you're doing a hard thing.

Fitness is hard.

Do you believe that? Do you believe that you're doing a hard thing?

Or does that kind of hit you as, well, that's nice, but that's not me. I'm not doing a hard thing.
