C25K Update

We rounded out our weekend with the zombies by running Week 6 Day 3 of our C25K program.  

Yes, we have become "those" people.  You know, the knuckleheads who go away for the weekend and run.  Both days.  Believe me, no one is more surprised by this than me.  

Once we committed to C25K and I realized that we would be out of town for one of our running days, I googled and found a nearby walking/running trail.  It was less than 10 minutes from our hotel and went through a quiet residential area and alongside  a park.  Very nice with little traffic and we met lots of walkers and runners along the way.  

You can see our time and distance in the last shot.  This week we move into Week 7 and our third run for this week just happens to coincide with a long-planned trip to St. Augustine!  

Zombie Run 2016

Stand back - we're infected!

We had a great time at the 2016 Zombie Run in Perry, GA.  Unfortunately we didn't "survive."  Truth be told we succumbed to a cute little zombie just before the finish line and gave up our last flag voluntarily - he was so excited to "catch" someone!

The course ran through different areas of the Guardian Center this year.  We climbed through windows and went up and down several flights of stairs in the "hospital" building.  It was definitely a lot more challenging this time around.  I took the easy way out and avoided the flooded area but made up for it by climbing up and down the two ammo bunkers near the end.

Although the event wasn't officially timed, we monitored our progress on our Garmins.  We took a time out halfway through to help a runner who was having some health issues.  A member of our group was an EMT and recognized his symptoms straight away.  I'm always amazed at the support shown by the running community - they never hesitate to stop and help someone in need.
