 For those of you who've been there this will be short and sweet:  I walked up the hill, without stopping, without sweating and without breathing heavy!


For those of you who have never been there:  The National Zoo in DC is built on a hill.  The entire thing.  If you take public transport you walk in at the top of the hill, you look at animal all the way down then when you are good and exhausted you have to walk all the way back up again to get out.  I was there in December and had to rest twice on the way out of the zoo as I couldn't make it all the way up the hill without my back cramping up.

Do you live in the DMV area?

I have been in MD since 2007 and have yet to go to the Zoo!
