You live in a volcano OP?

I've had a crush on you for years, no homo.
Check out my (Mega Man's) Teefury shirt for today:

That's good! Sometimes when I catch myself in a lackluster workout - you know, just going through the motions - I will pretend that a maniac with a machete is chasing me. That puts some pep in my step!0

How about the game called Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?
It can be like... BETTER SPRINT HERE CUZ THE FAST ZOMBIES ARE COMING. And stuff. I dunno. I just made this up.
Or! or... You are an international spy on a mission. It's very important. GOGOGO. Or the terrorists win.
YOU ARE TOM CRUISE. RUN TOM CRUISE RUN. (Go look it up on youtube. Tom Cruise running. Hilarious. No joke.)
Oh, and of course videogame related games. We gotta come up with more of those. THE ALIENS ARE COMING. GET 'EM. SAVE THE WORLD. GOGOGO. yeaaaaah. gj.

Great idea! Although I totally thought this was going to refer to the game we played when we were children!
It sort of does. I just have ulterior (fitness) motives now. :laugh: Trying to make being an adult suck a little less.
This is always admirable. I'm not a runner yet, but I like have a whole Zelda-themed system to track my goals. It makes doing adult things nerdy and awesome.
TELL ME MORE.

If you are ever in a park in Ohio, and you see a very tall, big guy "running" very slowly saying out loud, "Just keep running, just keep running, just keep running" in a Dori like voice......Make sure you say hello to me.
best mental picture of the day lol If I'm ever in Ohio, I'll make sure to look for you0 -
This isn't a game so much as I was freaked out because now it gets darker way earlier and I was running on a somewhat secluded track far away from lights and my car. I decided to go one more lap because there were others out and about, next thing I know it's practically dark and I see no one! I hauled *kitten* to my car!!!0

Anything as long as you can fit in plenty of commando rolls.0 -

mmm, the things you could do with that hand0 -
I do the zombie thing too. If it's kinda dark, I imagine zombies are waiting for me in the woods by the road and I have to get past them before they realize I'm there. This works really well at 6 in the morning when there are vague noises and I can't really see what they are

You're so adorable. =B
My son plays the lava game at my gym. The guy who owns the gym even plays it with him, it's ridiculous. I think we're gonna get him to do primals with us soon, because he can crab-walk crazy good.
It's never fun to play the 'Oh God, I've gotta pee' game while jogging. That one sucks.0 -
today as I was running past a field with tall grass at 5:15 am, I played the "I know someone is in there waiting to grab me, so I need to run past this field instead of walk past it..." . I pretty much play that game my entire run since it's so dark out now....
Paranoia is quite the motivator!0 -

There are a couple of copses of trees along the Charles River Bike Path, and since it's usually deep dusk by the time I hit them, I full-on sprint when I get to those sections until I'm in the well-lit parts again. I just imagine rabid river monsters lurking around there and leaping out at me... so sometimes you'll see me duck mid-sprint when something rustles the leaves next to me.
There are two mid-size hills towards the end of my 4 mile interval workout. I make it a game to try and pace myself so that both hills always fall on a sprint interval. My efforts are generally confounded by the existence of "pedestrians" on the sidewalk in front of me, or those pesky "red traffic lights" at "busy intersections". Usually, it becomes a game of Frogger in my head so that I could still fit the hills in my sprint intervals.
I also like to pretend that I'm Jane Bourne and incorporate plenty of obstacle leaps, sideways wall running, commando rolls when it's dry enough and monkey bar swings in some of my runs when I can.
ETA: fixin teh grammarz..0 -
I do the neighbor thing too....I don't want anyone to see me walking!
And sometimes I tell myself that if Katniss could run for HOURS, surely I can run for another 2 minutes. I mean seriously, she didn't even train for that *kitten*!0 -

This is me!!! I "Dory" my way through a lot of exercises. LOL ... then when I know I am being lazy or bored ... I dont play the lava game ... I play the shark game. I have to spin my arms frantically to keep above water and keep moving cause sharks are fast and I want to beat them to the end. In my world sharks dont try to eat me .. .they are just *kitten* jocks who tease me when I lose. You know, cause I'm just a forgetful blue fish who sings to herself. :P
I'm sure people in my neighborhood probably think I am suffering from psychotic episodes ... but it's fun!0 -
I play the "Don't look back it's right behind you" game.
Very similar to the "Don't leave your foot hanging out of the bed or the under the bed monster that your Dad says doesn't exist but you KNOW lives under there will grab your foot and haul your *kitten* under the bed to maul you" game.
I know if lives under there because I sometimes hear it growl...oh wait that's my stomach saying "Feed ME Feed Me"
Anyway, I can frighten myself into doing an extra mile no probs with the thought that some big snaggly toothed monster's about to slice me to death if I turn around.
Erm...I never do this for more than a mile as I'm scared that I would then get too out of breath to scream if ithe big snaggly toothed monster actually IS right behind me when I look back,
:devil:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggghghhhhhh!0 -
Oh *kitten* here she comes! Dammit she is catching up, faster you turd faster!! You have 5 seconds before she gets you and wants her money. Hurry, 4 seconds! Watch out for the car! Leap the hood are you crazy, just run around it, it's faster trust me. Oh Damn 2 seconds.... 1 second!!! Quick jump into the bushes!!! AWESOME!! A flying leap into the bushes just as I realize I was on a treadmill and now flying toward a closest door. BANG!! safe at last.
Ya I just run and listen to music.0 -

When someone in my family yells "floor's lava!" everyone screams and jumps up on the nearest piece of furniture. Mama included.
I have re-labeled my weapons kata workout as "Dismembering Imaginary Foes" so that I really give it my best effort. I fight dragons, demons, zombies, mean ugly guys... sound effects included.0 -

I've never told anyone this, but I'm on kind of a stone age kick lately. When I'm walking, I pretend that I'm going to gather grains or something so I can feed my tribe through the winter, or if I want to walk briskly (I never run--blech) I pretend that the cave elder is sick and desperately needs the roots I just gathered to survive.
I'm so embarassed to have put that on the interwebs.

When I'm lifting I sometimes imagine that I'm lifting a car off one of my kids - you would put every tiny bit of effort into that wouldnt you!
I have failed to save the poor little blighters many times though0 -

AHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! ... Running from your ex-wife! Priceless!I play the "Don't look back it's right behind you" game.

On a lesser cool note, I still don't like my feet sticking out from the blankets because of the above-listed reason, and I occasionally have nightmares where I try to scream and the sound won't come out. :indifferent: *shudders*

That's not embarassing, that's awesome This is a fun thread full of lots of imagination... no worries. 0 -

I like it! Have you ever read the Clan of the Cave Bear series?
I'm usually focused on time or distance so I'll talk myself into going another minute or getting to a certain spot. Most of the time I'm able to keep pushing past but on bad run days at least I can console myself with the fact that I met the goal. Love the lava idea and may use it myself sometime - or at least get a chuckle out of it when it comes to me. 0 -

I immediately thought of "Clan of the Cave Bear" when I read that!! For some reason, my mom let me read that series when I was like 11. Along with a lot of VC Andrews :noway: I have no idea what she was thinking......
Okay....just went to Amazon and bought the Kindle version. I know what I'm doing tonight!!0
