Zombies, Run! Radio Abel Season 1

31:07 minutes - 2.06 miles - 15:05 min/mile

Well, that didn't work out. I intended to start the 10K training program this morning, so I enrolled in the program and started the app—and then found out that it works by attaching the training program to a mission, so the training sessions aren't missions in themselves. I accidentally downloaded and started running Season 2 Mission 1, then I went Ack! this isn't right and stopped the mission while I tried to decide what to do. There was no point running the training program along with Season 2—the whole point of the training program was to get me to 10K so I could run that before starting Season 2. I thought about re-running the Season 1 missions, or interval missions, or something; but then I decided there was really no point doing the training program, if it isn't its own separate missions. I can easily train up to 10K in a couple of weeks using Radio Abel or the supply missions or intervals. I've already done the 5K (3 miles), so if I do 4 miles this week, then 5 miles next week, I can do the 10K the week after without too much trouble. 

As for the 20K, forget it. This is getting way too complicated. I'll try to work it in later, just to play it, but I'm going to go ahead and start Season 2 after the 10K.

So, anyway, for today's run, I played some more of Radio Abel Season 1. For timing, I decided that most albums are around 30 - 40 minutes, so I'd just play an  album and run till it was done. This morning, it was Pink Floyd's Animals album. I actually started the run a little bit into the album, because I was playing it while I did a couple of warmup laps, and then while I was standing around trying to decide what to do about my run. But the rest of it was pretty close to 2 miles, so that worked out well. I think I had zombie chases turned on, but there weren't any during this run, so that was fine. I kept up a good pace and ran the whole way.

It's fun to have Jack and Eugene say, okay, here's the next song, and then hear Pink Floyd. I guess in my universe, Radio Abel is AOR!
