36:47 minutes - 2.03 miles - 18:08 min/mile
So far, so good! Two whole missions in a row! Heh. I decided to do yoga on my off days from running, so yesterday I got up at 7 AM and did 15 minutes of yoga after morning chores. It would be better to get up at 6 AM every day, whether I go out to run or not, but I didn't set my alarm and couldn't quite make it up any earlier. I'll start setting the alarm from now on.
My experiment with sleeping for several hours in the afternoon proceeds. Tuesday I was really tired in the afternoon, but only managed to sleep for maybe half an hour or so. I did retire to my room and lie down from 3 PM to 5 PM, so I got some rest anyway. Then Wednesday, yesterday, got up at 7 AM as mentioned, did yoga, and then again went to my room to lie down at 3 PM. I didn't feel as tired as the day before, but I did sleep at least an hour, maybe an hour and a half. Better! And today, set the alarm for 6 AM and staggered out of bed when it went off, pulled on my clothes and went out.
My right shin was twinging, so I decided to walk today's mission again, at least until/unless my shin stopped hurting. Near the end, my leg was feeling better, so I decided to jog slowly for a lap or two, and of course that was when I got my only zombie chase of the mission. Evaded without the zombies getting within 50 meters, but I think the GPS was off, because it seemed like I barely went over half a lap before it was over. One lap is just over a tenth of a mile, so zombie chases should last for most of a lap. Anyway, I was a bit slower today than last time, mostly because of only one zombie chase instead of three. Maybe I'll do a bit more running on Saturday. Or maybe just finish the week walking and start running more next week.
Of course, now that I'm running again (for two whole sessions!), I'm already thinking about the next race. Probably go ahead and sign up for the Zombies, Run! Virtual Race for Halloween, but maybe start looking into new half marathons as well.
In today's mission, Runner 5 was captured by Van Ark and made to run at the back of a jeep on the end of a chain. I was picturing an open jeep in my mind, and kept thinking, all right, wait until the end of one of his little sprints, then keep running quickly right up to the back of the jeep, jump up and climb in, hit Van Ark in the head with my shackles and kick him out of the jeep, then get in the driver's seat and zoom off back to Abel! It's a long shot, but better than being killed dragged behind a jeep. Or taken back to Van Ark's lab and turned into a lab rat. Now that I'm looking at the image from the app, it looks like the jeep has a canopy, so that wouldn't have worked. Oh well. As it turned out, 5 needed to end up at the lab with Paula for story reasons anyway, so it all worked out.
