Survived a night in the wilderness with no ammo, zombies chasing, and just one voice
2.26 miles - 39:57 minutes - 17:39 min/mile
I was scheduled to do 8 miles this weekend, but for various reasons, I decided to bag it and just stay home and do another Zombies, Run! mission. Mainly because it's supposed to hit 93 F today, and even if I got to the park in time to start at 6 AM, I'd be out there for probably two and a half hours, and it would be scorching even by 8:30. And I'm not training for a race anyway, so the distance doesn't matter, as long as I get a run in. I'd set my alarm for 5:30 AM anyway, thinking I'd see how I felt when I woke up, but I slept badly and felt yucky when the alarm woke me, so I just stayed in bed another half hour and did my run around the house.
And it was just as well—I felt like Ploddy McPlodderface out there, and my time shows it. Splits were 17:00 and 17:36. No zombie chases this time, thankfully—I suspect the zombies would have caught me.
One bit of good news: the Zombies, Run! Halloween Virtual Race has been announced. I'll definitely sign up for that. Maybe instead of going for a half marathon, I'll just work on my speed for a 10k through the rest of the summer, and think about working up to a half once the weather's cooled down.
