Sorry I haven't been posting. this weekend through me off a bit. My name is my user name..Makena. And I'm from California. I have also been lucky enough to live overseas. I think maybe it's best to say I'm from a little bit of everywhere as I move every 3 years.

THE STORY
This room was your safety and outside that door was a nightmare. Venturing from the room was probably one of the hardest things you had ever done. Your heart was in your throat and racing. Every little noise of the building and the moans being carried up on the wind and through the broken windows of the building made you jump. You could feel the tension in the air as everyone waited for these ghouls to rip through the small group of 15 and shred them all to pieces. Except they never came. For some reason the floor was completely barren of the undead but they had been there. Bloody hand prints and spurts of blood stained the wallpaper and carpeting and shards of glass from broken in windows littered the ground. Occasionally as the group passed an open room you could see in the faint light from the windows you could make out the remains of something being torn apart but was not enough of a something to reanimate.
It didn't take long to come to the door that was the stair well. The small window in the door showed the pitched darkness inside due to the lights of the city going out a day prior. Well, other than the glowing room of the building visible through the safe room everyone had been in earlier.
"Its too dark. We can't see anything," whispered a voice from the crowd.
"Its the only way down," answered another.
"But what if they're in their?"
"We have no other choice. We just have to," and the person pushed the door open. Everyone held their breath but the only thing that swelled up through the darkness was the uneasiness accompanied by the silence and stale metal smell of the stair well. Whether the metallic smell was due to the building or blood nobody was sure. People then began heading down, hesitant at first but then soon everyone was racing down.
You could see through the door windows leading into the halls like the one you had come from above except these halls were not as vacant as the one above had been. In some you could see the occasional ghoul shuffling through the blood stained hallway, one had a group of at least twenty fighting to crouch on the ground shoveling the remains into their mouths. Others were stuffed full of the undead. Luckily the darkness of the stairwell shielded you from their undead eyes and the heavy doors kept your movements silent and your scent hidden.
...
TEAM EXPLOSIVES (exit cobylea, enter Chelle_D)
Cobylea raced down the stairs and reached the floor first whipping around the corner of the stairs but suddenly a loud moan erupted from the darkness. Bloody hands seized her as a shredded and bloody ghoul latched onto her shoulder ripping her flesh. A scream erupted from her echoing through the stairwell sending pure terror into the hearts of every team member lost in the dark and confused by the echo. Suddenly the door to the stairs swung open and light flooded the dark stairs. Chelle_D raced through the door with a raised crowbar smashing it into the ghoul and freeing Cobylea who by now had fallen limp and conscious. Without a word Chelle_D raised the bar and brought it down making sure Cobylea would not become one of them.
"Who are you!?" Shouted someone from the team but before Chelle_D could answer someone from the team shouted "Their coming!!!" Surely the commotion had alerted the horde. A scream erupted from the group and someone began to cry seeing ghouls running towards the lobby doors smashing into the glass. "Follow me!" someone shouted and the team bolted from the stairway, down a hall to the left and out into a back ally behind the building out into the infested street swarming with undead.
...
RANGED/EXPLOSIVES
The team raced out of the stairwell terrified to emerge but more scared of remaining in the darkness. The lobby was full of the undead which quickly took notice of the living meal entering their domain. A moan erupted from a ghoul and the heads of the creatures rolled, dead eyes fixing on the group. "Go go go!" shouted someone from the team as they started pushing people towards a hallway to the left and out through the back alley and out into the infested street swarming with undead.

CHALLENGE:
This week we have two options to choose from for challenges seeing as we have many different people of different physical abilities. Option A will be easier for those who are not as fit but it will take longer. Now if you already do these tasks in your routine or in your daily life then please tag these on as addional workouts seeing as this is suppose to be a challenge and not doing so pretty much makes it pointless. Also please choose a weight that works you, everyone is different and some will find 5 lbs difficult while others may find 35lbs difficult. Also all of these exercises can be done with items from your home but weights will make it work better for you.
Option A. You'll be walking through the city to escape into the countryside. You must walk 5 miles daily from the weapon supply store off to a small cottage just outside suburbia which will be the team's safe house. Meaning that this week you'll be traveling 35 miles total at a walking pace. Please try to keep it around dog walking pace around 3mph. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, since those deciding to flee faster will be attracting the attention of more of the undead horde before they even know there are others you'll be fighting off fewer zombies. You'll be required to do 30 reps of one arm dumbell rows, dumbbell streight punch and cross wood chops every other day in addition to your regular strength training regemin (easily divisable into 3 sets of 10 reps, modify as you see fit).
Option B. You'll be running through the city to escape into the countryside. You must jog 2 miles daily from the weapon supply store off to a small cottage just outside suburbia which will be the team's safe house. Meaning that this week you'll be traveling 14 miles total at a jogging pace. You will be attracting the most attention of the undead horde since you will be the first traveling through the city drawing their attention. You're required to do 45 reps of one arm dumbbell rows, dumbbell streight punch and cross wood chops every other day in addition to your regular strength training regemin (easily divisable into 3 sets of 15, modify as you see fit).
ALSO, everyone must decide their weapon for this week meaning they choose their own individual mini challenge for themself. Like for example, if I were to decide I wanted my 'weapon' to be to drink more water this week then I will call it my sledge hammer. Then when I complete my workout for the day I will say I ran and that I used my sledge hammer for the day. Every week you can change your weapon or goal that your weapon represents. Just a fun idea. Please submit your mini goal on your team's thread for the captain to keep track of then please update it as you would your regular physical challenge showing if you completed it every day of the week or not. This is you arriving at the weapon supply which will not be written out.
HAVE FUN GUYS!
Please let me know any questions that you guys have because I want to make sure that everything is clear. Also I am releasing this a bit early instead of 6a since I decided to head to the gym.0 -
I am very sad to say, that I will be deciding later today if I need to get eaten by a zombie or not. I want to be in this more than anything, but I can't walk 35miles and if the challenges keep progressing at this rate then I wont beable to do them either ;-(
For those who don't know, I flipped a car 4x almost 4years ago, didn't have access to physical therapy, and started my weight loss journey because I was in so much pain I couldn't walk a block without needing a pain pill...the doctors that they thought losing weight would help, and it has, but I just began excercising less than a month ago and there's just some things I really have to take slow and can't push myself due to an injury, not because I don't have the stamina or the energy...doing 35miles is beyong pushing my capabilities..I can't walk a mile without being in pain...I could push for 10miles, maybe by some miracle do 20...but 35... I don't want to let my team down or need other ppl to pick up my slack, or anything else...I can do all the dubbell stuff and what not just fine, but anything involve mass use of my hip is pretty painful. I just managed to do the stairs without my hip hurting too bad, which is why I think I could push myself to do some walking...but 5miles everyday with no rest days is big.
Im pretty upset.. I love all my new friends, and having the weekly goal and being in the team but Idk what else to do :sad: what do u guys think I should do??? ;-(0 -
Holy heck I am going to find the new challenge hard. I will be going with option (A) as there is no way I can jog that distance I have only started C25K :ohwell: But 5 miles is 8km and the most I have walked is 5km. Not to mention it is the middle of winter here :frown: If only I had a treadmill!!!0

If I had a treadmill id try the mission, but when I live in middle of the country with nothing but hills all around me, then its hard for me..I can't excercise from home with the challenge, I have to go into the city...and I don't have a car... ... maybe ill just down a bottle of pain pills and walk home from work...that's only about 9miles, only partially uphill... its my summer goal to walk the mile and a half to my boyfriends house (all uphill, nothing flat)..been trying to work up to the mile and a half...been aiming to low I guess.0 -

I don't know if it is going to be harder from now on, may be there will be less walking involved. May be for this week the team can pick up your load. Do you guys think it is possible? Should we ask for it?
I decided to run, not walk. But, I can walk an extra 20 miles this week for Anna (may be more).0
