1.70 miles – 32:56 minutes – 19:21 min/mile
One week completed! Still no zombie chases, even though I increased the rate, but that's okay for this first week. I'm happy just to be out walking briskly for half an hour. I didn't walk yesterday, because things, but I'm not bothered about that. I will try to do something on my off days — maybe some weights or yoga or something, as well as walking — but the main thing is to get my official three days of running/walking done. I think next week I'll continue to walk most of the time, turn the chases up a bit more, and maybe try running every third lap or something.
I remember this part of Season 1 now, and it reminds me of something that I occasionally find frustrating about the Zombies, Run! story, which is that Runner 5 never speaks. I understand why — they want to make Runner 5 as undefined as possible so that anyone using the app can assume the Runner 5 identity for themselves. Which is cool, but when things happen and Runner 5 gets accused of things he (or she or they) didn't do, I'm running along going, "Tell them! Explain what happened! Stand up for yourself!" But Runner 5 remains a cipher.
Perhaps I'm supposed to insert my own dialog there, being that I'm Runner 5, but no one can respond to me and it doesn't fit the story, so I'm left silently fuming.
Oh! I got a letter from Maxine on Wednesday congratulating me on meeting Runner 10! That must be something new to the app, I don't remember ever getting email after a run before. Kind of makes me want to go back and start over from the beginning to see if I get any more letters... but I won't.
