National Epilepsy Foundation Walk

National Epilepsy Foundation Walk

SB and I made our way down to Washington DC for the National Epilepsy Foundation Walk.  We both took off Friday and traveled down to Georgetown, where our hotel was.  We weren't as close to a metro as we hoped so we did lots of walking instead and some running. 

First experiences:  taxi cab ride down to get our National Epilepsy Foundation Walk t-shirts, Crime and Punishment store, Frozen Yogurt place (similar to the ones HungryRunner and SkinnyRunner go to), and Georgetown Cupcakes.  

So at the end of the day on Friday, we had covered about 6 miles.  We ran about 2 miles of that trying to find the Crime and Punishment store (while coverings lots of DC and going to the very important Department of Treasury Building (aka past the White House), the rest of the day we did walking around to the frozen yogurt place, Georgetown Cupcakes and back to our hotel in Georgetown. 

We woke up early on Saturday monday to get checked out of the hotel and started our trek down to the National Epilepsy Foundation Walk at 12th street.  We had a 3.2 mile run down to 12th street, we also had a quick stop at a bagel place for breakfast.   Once we got to the National Epilepsy Foundation Walk, we did some more walking around trying to find coffee to keep warm and then the walk itself which ended up being a 5k instead of the 2.2 miles.  We knew we would be tired so we grabbed the Metro to head back to Foggy Bottom then walk the rest of the way to our hotel in Georgetown.  So our total for today was around 8 miles....wow thats a lot in two day...no wonder our feet were a little tired. 

Overall, I think we had a great time and had some laughs along the way and meet some fun new people.  I am blessed and enjoyed being able to go with SB to the National Epilepsy Foundation Walk and see the many people that are affected by Epilespy in some way (person who has it, to a supporter).

We had smooth sailing all the way home with not much crazy traffic. 

The Georgetown Cupackes was worth the 20 minute wait to see and purchase their yummy, yummy cupcakes. (Note: we didn't get to eat the cupcakes until tonight (Saturday)).
