Zombie 5k Week One

See My Experience with All The Weeks Here:

Week One

First morning running the zombie 5 k training.  It's  a lot different  than the coutch to 5k. I'm liking it.  You walk for 1 minute run for 15 seconds.  It doesn't sound like much, but it's harder than I expected. When it was over, I felt really good.  I don't love running, but I love the way I feel when I at least attempt running regularly.

The story line is minor - it doesn't interfere much, and it plays your playlist between talks.  It might all make more sense if you watch The Walking Dead, but that's just a guess.  I tried two episodes of that show and would rather be eaten by zombies, or run, than sit through another.  Zombies are really not my thing.  Even so, this is interesting, simply in that it is different.  I've done the c25k so many times, I was ready for something different.
.
I used the accelometer, Dan used the GPS mode.  His recorded that he went 2.18 miles.  Mine says 6km - over 3 miles.   We weren't together the whole time, but I'm pretty certain his is closer to correct.  I switched mine to gps/miles for next time.  (The horses were out when I got up this morning,  so I was running late & didn't have time to look at the app settings before I left.)


Compared To The C25K Program:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
 Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

===========================

Making Mountain Pies

Mountain Pies are typically two pieces of white bread, buttered, with filling between them, cooked over a campfire, in a mountain pie maker.

Popular combinations are:
Pizza - pizza sauce, pepperoni, cheese
Pie - Any pie filling (some like cheese with their apple pie filling)
Smores - Marshmallow & chocolate.

But you can really put just about anything in a Mountain Pie.
Tonight we did Chocolate Raspberry, & Bruschetta & Cheese - both using crescent dough in place of the white bread

Crescent Dough, Raspberries, a marshmallow cut in half, an some chocolate.

Crescent dough, bruschetta, cheese, dried oregano & basil


On the fire

They probably should have cooked for another minute or two.  They were good, but they could have been better...

What I'm Reading - Wednesday July 16 2014


What I Am Currently Reading:


What  I Recently Finished Reading:


While this is my favorite type of book - historical references, switching between current day and the past, with a light mystery in the plot..  I just did not really enjoy this particular book.
(I also finished Invisible by James Patterson, and I loved that one!)

What I Think I Might Read Next:

I just loaded my aldiko bookshelf with every book I have that has the word "summer" in the title.  Some of them I read a few pages of and deleted without finishing.  I think I'll probably try Summers Child by Diane Chamberlain next.  




To Play along, just go to:
And answer these questions:

• What are you currently reading?

• What did you recently finish reading?

• What do you think you’ll read next?
