It's true, I walk fast

Today, I am celebrating a number of things. 1) Kay, Amber, and I completed a very long walk yesterday 2) Kay and I completed that walk at 11 am despite our champagne celebration for a friend's new job the night before and 3) I found my keys this morning (which has nothing to do with the walk). Yesterday, however, Kay and I left Van Ness and proceeded to Woodley Park where we met Amber for our training walk. According to Google Pedometer (my favorite walking invention), in total, Kay and I walked 7.4 miles! We think that our walk to and from Woodley Park was about 4.5 miles. Previous claims aside (ie that I walk "like being chased by the mafia") the full walk was completed in 2 hours which was impressive. Despite our impressive distance and speed, the most exciting part of our walk was watching hordes of middle school children flock to the DC Goth Festival in one of Woodley Park's classy hotels. I especially appreciated the women with the Samurai Swords.
