I’m chaperoning a trip to Washington, D.C. for my school’s ninth and tenth graders, and we’ve been going nonstop since about 5 AM on Wednesday, 29 March 2023. Indeed, I’m writing this blog post on the bus to our nation’s capital. The bus is equipped with WiFi, which is one of the more decadent instances of modern travel amenities I’ve enjoyed.
After the madness (and awesomeness) of my school’s annual Spring Concert (more on that tomorrow), it’s good to hit the road for a few days. I was not looking forward to slogging through the rest of the week after the high of the concert. That’s not to mention the burn of it: according to my fitness app, I burned over 1900 calories and walked a little over seven miles throughout the course of the day.
There’s been a great deal of walking on this trip, so the burn keeps going. I haven’t been able to get in my morning run, but the perambulation to historic sites has made up the difference in terms of caloric burn.
I’ll have more details soon. The other big event is the Lamar Egg Scramble, which kicks off this afternoon, the bulk of which is tomorrow. I have some big (for me) news in regards to the ol’ Scramble.
