A Champion in Walking

One day I saw Nemi running so fast. I knew that I could not keep up with her, so I surrendered. I said, "Let me walk so that I can say I was just walking and not trying to keep up with her."
 
Recently I have started practising walking. I sincerely want to become a champion in walking.
