Went out for a Saturday evening run out to and around the park and back.
I was sent out for an emergency task for this workout. Runner 6 is injured in the field and my job was to go out and distract three zombies away from the injured runner.
Doctor Myers will instruct me on the comm.

Once I reached the zombies, they had little interest in me. I slowly approached them and did my knee lifts (we learned previously the knee lifts drive the zombies crazy). Several attempts at this, and I finally attracted the zombies and lured them away.
Following this rescue mission, I was given a Red Scarf, a symbol of a Runner who has saved another's life.

"Saved Runner Six's life today."
With the end of the Week 4 workouts in the books, this marks the halfway point in my 5K training!
It was a beautiful evening at the park, and as the sun began setting, there were still many people out enjoying a Mother's Day BBQ.
I tried to maintain a steady run during my last 15 minute free-form run, but I only lasted 5 minutes, and I finished the rest with run/walks. I hope to extend this time in the remaining weeks.
