We Did It! Third Annual Great LA Walk


FOR THE THIRD YEAR in a row Mrs. Newbie and I marched in the Great Los Angeles Walk. We're 3 for 3 in this 21st-century pre-Thanksgiving tradition that takes us and dozens of strangers/friends from downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean. (At 4 m.p.h., instead of the usual 40.)

First year we walked 16 miles along the length of Wilshire Blvd. Then in 2007 we hoofed 15 miles down all of Pico Blvd. Yesterday: 18 miles, starting at Union Station, we sauntered down parts of Cesar Chavez and Sunset, and all of Santa Monica Blvd.

The cause? Just because. See you all in a year. In the meantime:

It was so nice running into you and the Mrs.!

Will, I'll introduce you next time... or maybe not, the mystery makes things more exciting.

It was nice to see you guys again! For some reason I had no idea you write AVN. Me = confused. Anyhow, hope the rest of the walk was as nice as the first half! :)
