i did it. i walked a slow 5k

 

I drove down to Swarthmore today to do a volkssport walk. It was 1.5 hours each way. I'm crazy. But I knew that if I didn't have people with me I wouldn't do it.

And I was right. I wanted to quit so many times.

There were 21 people and one baby in a stroller. People came from four states, so I guess I'm not as crazy as I thought. I took a nap when I got home.

The walk began at the Swarthmore Public Library, near the commuter train train station. The walk went through Swarthmore and Swarthmore College. It reminded me a lot of Lehigh. The buildings were the same age, there was forested areas, and flowers. I thought about going to the adjacent Scott Arboretum, but frankly I was wiped out. 

 

I did walk the labyrinth. This is the second picture this week that shows my true size. I am a beached whale. The leggings I'm wearing are Pat's. She was almost 100 pounds lighter than me. Jury is still out if they go in the Goodwill bag.

At the start I was the only one doing the 5K. At the end, there were four of us. 

I was too tired to go to the festival that was being held. I had a great parking space for it too.

Miles/Steps:   My fitbit said 4 miles. I think the labyrinth messed with the results.
Weather:        66 and sunny at the end. Low 50s and cloudy/drizzle at the beginning.
Bathrooms:    I-4.5 at the library
Wildlife:         Heard one woodpecker
