It's day three in Washington, D.C.

Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day.

I'm walking right now and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes.

So, yeah, day three in Washington, D.C., if you're just joining us and you missed the first two days,

we started on First Avenue, east side of the Capitol, talked about that,

walked along the U.S. Supreme Court building and the Library of Congress. Yesterday, the west side of the Capitol building

and the National Mall, an interesting side note,

as I was walking along the National Mall,

looked down towards the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial

and saw Marine One, which is the presidential helicopter,

making its way to the White House, and then, I assume, landed on the South Lawn.

I didn't see that too far away, but did see Marine One, and they always fly in pairs of two

when they're carrying the president.

And Marine one and the second Marine one took off and proceeded in the other direction.

So that was kind of fun.

And yeah, you see that every now and then when you're here in D.C.

Today, the Smithsonian Museums, and they line the National Mall.

On one side you have Constitution Avenue, and the other side Independence Avenue.

And the Smithsonian Museums, actually, it's not just one, I think it's 19 different museums, and most of them are located here in D.C. on either side of the National Mall.

Interesting piece of history.
