Hello!

So I'm getting bored with all this talk of "working out" and "getting in shape." I keep having that little voice in my head saying "what's the point of being able to run a 5K? Why is that practical at all?" WELL! I'll tell you why it's practical! Zombies. That's right ladies and gentlemen, I'm thinking 12/21/12 is gonna be the start of the Zombie Apocalypse, and to be honest I am woefully unprepared! I can barely jog a mile! If those zombies chase after me, I'm a goner! Voila, I just gave you a life or undead situation as your future motivation to work out.

You're welcome.

p.s. always remember Rule #1: Cardio

p.p.s. yes, this is a joke =D but you'll have to admit that picturing a hoard of zombies behind you while you run is going to be awesome.

    I've been saying this for years.

    But I don't need to run the fastest, I just need to run faster than you.

    I thought I might spread the love to the rest of the my fitness pal world =D and it is mildly effective! I do have a bit of an irrational fear of zombies though....

    LOL! I LOVE this. I'm actually looking forward to the Zombie Apocalypse! Thinking about going to the shooting range and practicing, then getting a gun license :) Bwahaha. I'm so ready.

    I'm stocking up on food, water, and ammo. I'll just wait it out in a quiet, secluded house somewhere.

    Actually, you can run this 5k AND be chased by zombies.

    ^^^Yes! I was just going to post this. It is the most motivation I've got for running a race. My first 5K will be a zombie race in Denver! Anyone else interested in going?

    Well, now it depends on if you are talking about the original "Night Of The Living Dead" zombies or "28 Days Later" zombies. If it is NOTLD then you might have a fighting chance, but if they can book it as in 28 Days Later, well, better start training! Me, I keep my trusty Zombie Survival Guide on me at all times!

    Doc says I'm not allowed to run. So I bought a machete.

    This. Consider it official practice.

    I'll be prepared for the oncoming horde.

    Will you?

    Edit: I kinda posted the link without looking to see if someone else beat me to it ... which many did. :P
    But idc. It's so awesome, it SHOULD be posted several times.
    Yeah.
    I'm that serious about zombies.

    (Not really)
    (Well, kinda)

    I was joking with a friend about this a few weeks ago and we decided we would both have our brains eaten within the first hour of a zombie outbreak. It did get me thinking about survival situations and needing to be fit enough to look after yourself and your family though. So zombies DID help motivate me to join MFP and start doing something. :)
    I like the idea of imagining zombies behind me to do more on the tread mill, that just might work.

    Edited to add the avatar photo is NOT me! (I wish)

    I'm assuming Rule #1 is in reference to the rules according to Zombieland (http://www.zombielandrules.com/)

    Of course the Zombie 5k looks cool too! :)
