Who knew that Capitol Hill was littered with such athletic talent. 

Politico has the story:

For others, they’re a way to survive after getting there.

Hit the paths that line the National Mall on any sunny afternoon, and you’re likely to see members of Congress and their staff members sweating off the stress of the day.
