I've been walking my little butt off since March. I've lost 27 lbs walking and watching my food portions. That's awesome but it's not the exciting part!

This morning, I went for my walk with my zombies in tow (app called Zombie Run- where you listen to a story as you walk - the premise is that during songs you jog regular pace (I walk fast) and when you hear the "beep beep zombies close by" you are supposed to run faster, and during the story part you go slower anyways..) So back to me and this morning! I started out walking when I heard the "beep beep"! I started to... are you ready for this? JOG!!! for a whole minute until I evaded the zombies! So, I returned to walking and a couple songs later I thought, why not try jogging during the next song - so I JOGGED another minute! Returned to my walking when I heard the "beep beep zombies" again and this time I was able to jog for 1:45 minutes!

You are thinking "great! she ran for 3 minutes"... If you knew me and knew how much I hate exercise especially running you would understand why this is a great exciting moment! I KNOW I won't be running marathons anytime soon or ever for that matter...but this a great feat for me!

Did I enjoy running? heck no! Did I enjoy that feeling of "Yes! I did it"? oh yeah!

Tomorrow, I will try jogging during every song - maybe not the whole song - but as long as I can!

Thanks for letting me share my NSV moment!

    Great NSV!!!

    Also I need this app, thanks for sharing - can't think of a better way to be inspired to 'leg it' than being chased by zombies. Genius.

    I love Zombies, Run! And am like you -- I don't like running. But I've now progressed so that I can actually do a 5K and not die at the end. Can't wait for the new missions to come out today!
