A 10 Mile Sunday

Cinnamon and I spent this afternoon walking to (yes, that does say walking TO) the National Mall... a wonderful 10 miles from our apartment complex. We "passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then walked through the Lincoln Tunnel" (elf). Well, maybe we didn't exactly take that route. We traveled by Shirlington, through Arlington Cemetery, over Memorial Bridge, and onto the National Mall. Once on the Mall we continued to live up to our WalkyTalky name walking and talking and talking and walking all the way to the Capitol building and then back to the Washington Monument. It was wonderful to finally get a long training walk in together (usually we're on our own with our mp3s). Now that we have both raised over $2,200 each, purchased plenty of wicking socks, and spent months training, we're just ready for October's 3DAY to get here already!
