All change and into Zombies Run season 2

[rmc28]

So, my last post was me saying I was switching back to straightforward half-hour training sessions in the week and long runs at the weekend.  The next morning I walked into a bookcase and broke my toe, which puts me out of running for a while, probably 4-6 weeks.  The half-marathon I was going to run on the 4th May is definitely off; in theory my toe might be healed by the other one I'd signed up for on 1st June, but I'm going to have to make a decision nearer the time.

Luckily I can still cycle, and there is a gym convenient to my office with a good offer for university staff, and I can use at least some of the cardio machines there without aggravating the toe injury.  So my plan is to keep up my CV fitness at the gym and hope I'm both fit enough and healed-up enough to run on 1st June.

ZR season 3 came out the morning after I broke my toe, which I thought was rather pointed timing.  I have taken up the offered season pass so I can access all the season 2 & 3 content as it becomes available.  I've become a bit addicted to improving my own little Abel township, which goes much faster now that I get 3 points per episode rather than just 1.  I also find the gym pretty boring, so although I want to catch up on season 1 content, I'm going to be prioritising the story-telling sort of content like S2 episodes and the S1 race missions over more general "filler" content like the radio mode and the way I was planning to use the remaining Zom25k episodes.

Today's session: 25 minutes, crosstrainer level 4, ZR Season 2, Episode 6

Running in Wales

[liv]

For complicated reasons I find myself unexpectedly in west Wales. My hosts suggested a run for me, mostly along the Welsh Coast path, which is amazingly gorgeous and has been fixed up in recent years so that much of it, including the section I ran today, is tarmaced and well signposted.

I ran 3.4 km in 30 minutes, at least partly because I was trying to navigate and run at the same time, and there's a couple of complicated road junctions interrupting the path. I'll try that again at the weekend and see if I can make a better time. Anyway I'm proud of myself for keeping up my running routine even when my life routine has been derailed like this.
