Zombies, Run! 5K - Week Eight Review! Fin!

I did it!

I completed all eight weeks of the Zombies, Run! 5K app. I'm actually quite surprised. Especially considering I started it on a whim. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be.

This week was a little bit different because each of the runs had a different itinerary. I didn't know this, so when I started my second run, I was completely confused. But I went with it.

My first run was quite frankly pretty awful. It was raining a lot. It had been all week. But I made myself get out there. There was a 20 minute run, which I managed to do no problem. I did miss out on one of the last five minute runs though. I just got really sick of the weather.

The second run was so much nicer. I was originally going to go back to my lake trail, but it turned out to be flooded, so I ended up doing the same trail that I was doing before anyway. There is this one hill on my route that is pretty major. When I run down it, I pretend I am flying. Yup, I'm that girl.

And the finale! I was so excited to complete the finale. I pushed myself really hard. I decided to mix things up a bit and went on a different direction on the trail. I haven't been that way in a very long time. I started following an older couple, thinking that they were doing the same route as me. But it turned out that they were not. So I got a bit lost. Not ridiculously lost. It's a big park, but not impossible to navigate. It actually worked out nicely because it added an extra bit of length to my run so that I could get the whole 5K in.

My timing on the 5K was exactly 45 minutes. I'm a pretty slow runner, but I'm happy with that time. I completed over 112K during the program, which I completed in about 6 weeks.

Honestly, this app was so much fun. I recommend it to anyone who is apprehensive about starting to run. I don't even like zombies (I still don't know what a shambler is), yet I LOVE this program. I can't wait to start the regular app.
