100 thrusters and about 60 burpees in 20:30

Zombie Apocalypse Run - Official time

I ran in the Zombie Apocalypse race on Saturday.  It was pretty fun and I learned a few things.  I need to be a little more confident and start farther up in the pack (at least for "fun runs", where half the people don't try very hard).  I spent much of the race just navigating around crowds of walkers. 

As far as my time, it turns out that the lead runner took a wrong turn and everybody followed him, so we ended up running about 3.5 miles.  That accounts for at least a few minutes of added time over my previous 5k runs.  Overall, I'm pretty happy with that.  The course was on dirt, gravel, corn field, etc, and had a few small hills, so it was a good little test of how I would do on unknown terrain.

My hairstyle doesn't change much.

203

My weight keeps bouncing around, which is odd, but I'm expecting it to level out once I start back on my regular routine on Monday

206 -- It's been a rough month

After getting down to 203.5 (mostly due to not eating much for a few days), I went back up to 209, and have been fluctuating a lot.  When I went back to Crossfit for the first time in 2 weeks, my weight shot up, which I'm guessing is swelling from the heavy leg work.  Then the weight drops if I take a few days off. 

Either way, the weight isn't really an issue.  The last month (actually 2 months) have been difficult due to some sickness and other "health issues" that I will not go into detail on, but I think I've finally made the necessary dietary changes to resolve the problems. 

So, I'm doing a Zombie 5k this Saturday, then I'll be back to Crossfit on Monday.

5k time: 27:40

Just ran a 5k (the full route from the last Discovery Meadows 5k).  I think that is my fastest time by far, so I guess it's true that you can build endurance and running speed with Crossfit alone.  I haven't run at all in many months.  We ran 1 mile at Crossfit one time in the last 6 months or so.
