Yesterday, I participated in the Automattic Worldwide WordPress 5k, and I have a bunch of pictures from it!

It took me about 1 hour and 15 minutes- mostly because I’m not in shape at all, so I walked really slow, but also because I stopped to talk a few pictures along the way.  I had forgotten to take a look at the time I started, so the only reason I know how long it took me was because I was listening to a podcast that’s about an hour and a half.  I did stop and take a break, because my feet and my lower back were killing me, and I have the feeling my legs will be somewhat sore today.

A 5k is about 3.1 miles, and I did mine around a golf course.  It has a decent trail around it, and there were markers indicating how far you’ve walked.  I’ve walked around it a few times, and I knew it was equivalent to a 5k, so I didn’t really have to  map out a course or anything.

Unfortunately, there really weren’t much I could take pictures of, but here’s what I did take:

The One Mile Mark

This was the 1st thing that was picture worthy.  At this point, I walked just under half a mile from where I had started.

The "Official" Start of the Trail

This is the “alleged” start of the trail around the golf course.  You don’t have to start there, of course, but I thought it was interesting.  Plus, it’s on the other side of the golf course that I started at, and I didn’t want to drive to this end just to start here.  Besides, it’s at a park, and there were quite a few birthday parties, so it was good I didn’t start there.

One of Two Duck Ponds

This is one of two duck ponds I saw.  And there’s nothing better than seeing ducks on a nice day.

The 2 Mile Marker

At this point, I wasn’t even paying any attention to the markers and how far I had walked, but since there wasn’t any nice scenery, I had to take a picture of something.

Even More Ducks!

This was the 2nd of two duck ponds I saw.  The pond was actually right next to these ducks, but I couldn’t get any decent ones of ducks and the pond, so I settled for just ducks.  My grandpa used to take me to feed these ducks when I was little.  Probably not these ducks, but the ducks by this particular pond.

My Finish Line!

And this was what I saw when I finished.  Again, the scenery was terrible, since there were a couple parking lots, so I settled for the sign.  I really had no clue what to take a picture of, since taking a picture of the golf course with golfers in the background was a little weird.  Taking a picture of the parking lot was out of the question, as was a picture of the golf course restaraunt.  So random sign on a fence was my best choice.

It was really good, though, just to walk, and listen to a podcast.  And I promise that I’ll go to the gym a couple times this week!  Just not today though.  Moving’s going to be hard.
