One small milestone: I told myself I should start walking to my current job in Arlington, and I actually did it today. I walked about a half hour downhill to Key Bridge in Georgetown. Then there was the trip up a hill in Arlington on the other side of the river. The walk in this direction was only 47 minutes, but coming back was closer to an hour, because I took a detour across Georgetown University’s campus, mistakenly believing it was a shortcut. Getting to Arlington with public transport involves two to three busses, depending on my route, so the walk didn’t cost me much extra time. Sure, I couldn’t read the newspaper, but thinking and exercising are more important anyway. Besides, it’s spring.
