If you like this post you probably belong in the Geek Squad group here on MFP. It's new but Zombies are a prevalent theme.

Haha, tell me more, since I seem to hardcore belong with the geeks and gerds.

I always read my nook on the treadmill and 30 minutes flys by that way but I am more of a vampire/ fantasy/ sci-fi reader. Zombies are boring to me. lol But its a great idea, glad you have found a fun way to motivate yourself!!!

. (If anyone knows a way that I can track distance on a map online which I can save, please let me know)

Google maps.

Zombieland was not a very great movie as zombie movies go.

I still refuse to see it based on the fact that they had rules to survive (which we all know already!) and because Woody was in it...

Oh. I assumed you because they listed cardio as a rule, when frankly, given traditional zombies you could probably escape at a fast walk. In any case, Google maps lets you map distances and save routes, no matter the length. I use it to map my running routes.

Do you just use your last distance saved as your starting point then? Like go from A to B and the next time B will be the A to your next point? Most of the time google maps can't remember the city I live in when I try to look up another location, so this would be awesome to use.

It's fun since it can work with anything; the vamp fantasy/sci-fi thing can be a motivation towards and away from as well. I don't see how the undead can be boring though, for shame, lol.

That sounds a lot eaiser then my idea of hiring a hitman and paying him to come after you..

On a more serious note, if you have some decent weight to lose, check out healthywage.com. I saw it posted a few weeks back, they pay you like 200 bucks if you lose 10 or 20% of your body weight.

I just glanced across it again, I guess teams of 5 can win up to $10,000.

Worth a shot, even if you just sign up yourself.
