Rescued a lost child in zombie-infested wilderness. Found an important ally.
2.13 miles - 36:50 minutes - 17:16 min/mile
This morning I decided to try to measure how far around the house I should run so that I was running and walking about the same amount of time. I used my phone to time a minute of running, from my start point in front of the house, and then time how long it took to walk the rest of the way back to start. It was about 45 seconds. So I figured I should stop a little short of a minute. Picked a spot that looked about right, and ran to that spot, then walked the rest of the lap. It seemed to work pretty well. (I suppose I should just use my watch, if I want to keep my 1:1 minute ratio going during the week. I could loop it onto my belt if I don't want to wear it on my wrist.)
Anyway, it was a pretty good run. Sun today was hot even before 7 AM, so that probably slowed me down some, but I finished without any trouble. There was one zombie chase at 16 minutes, which I evaded without them getting close. Mile splits were 17:06 and 17:02.
Still going fairly strong, if slow. Still no plans for a particular race. Wonder if I should just keep on training up for a full marathon? I should reach half distance in early October. Could be ready for a full by December. Would be interesting to see how it goes. At this pace, 17 min/mile, a full marathon would take around 7:42 hours. Huh. That's the pace I ran LA and my last Honolulu. I don't like taking that long, but it's not like I haven't done it! Well, we'll see. Just keep running for now and see what happens.
