    After dashing my buddies EOW party plans with that statement (thank you), I informed them that the Mayans couldnt possibly have predicted the end of the world without the help of a higher power. With that being said the higher power MUST have know about mankinds ability to change the dates and therefore adjusted the Mayans calculations to correspond to THIS year as WE know it and blah blah blah.....


    Seemed to work for him

    For those that need practice running from zombies https://www.zombiesrungame.com just thought it looked neat for those that are interested I use a shuffle to run this game almost makes me want to use my iphone

    That has to be the coolest ap ever! I may just be running from zombies tonight during my zombie apocalypse training.

    I plan on hanging out with a whole bunch of people who run a lot slower than I do.

    Plus I'm stocking up on empty liquor bottles, diesel fuel, styrofoam, and scrap cloth.:bigsmile:

    Zombies terrify me. This is an awesome reason to start doing more cardio. I don't want to be a zombie's lunch!

    Remember, everyone's going to go after the bullets, but no one's going to touch the arrows....

    I suggest you become proficient with a bow!

    Or a crossbow. They're a little easier to use, but don't have the range that a good bow has. You gotta shoot em in the head.

    I like the crossbow to death. I think compounds would be better for carrying and reloading times although they dont pack the same kind of punch a crossbow does it will do the job nicely (plus its more excercise.... see what I did there??)

    Amazon has a cool zombie wish list, it has loads of fitness stuff, I am practicing with the base ball bat, and running in a gas mask, whilst carrying my torch, duck tape, axe, and cross bow in my backpack! This is serious stuff we should all be prepared.........

    There is a 5 or 6 k run where you get chased by zombies. Something like "run for your life".... sounds like good practice!!!

    My reason for strength training - so I can smash skulls with my bat. This is no joke people.

    If they're true zombies and not the rage-virus type, I'm all set. I'll just outrun the damn things. *points to screenname*

    But I'll also be carrying some sort of melee weapon, probably a crowbar, and I'll do just fine wielding it. Thank you, months of hitting the weight room.

    If the dead start rising, I'll be ready to rumble. :drinker:

    Not gonna do you any good if you run into a horde of them! Plus you'll just be a target for the runners...

    Thats just the part that gets me to a "safe" place. I would rather drive into a horde vs run into a horde

    Everyone seems to be scared of december 2012 when the mayan long count calendar recycles, end of the world and all that. I see it as an opportunity. If the world is going to be overrun with zombies, then let's get in shape so we can kill lots of zombies! Who's with me?

    I'm stocking up on twinkies as we speak. I saw the documentary zombieland. I know what supplies to get.

    Yep, my husband and I have been working hard for the last year so we can outrun the zombies. Our only hope is the movies and books are correct and they move slow. If they for some reason are fast moving zombies we may be in trouble.

    As am I. I'm all about the cardio right now... But I plan on befriending a large group of women who dropped out of WeightWatchers right before the official apocalypse. I don't have to be the fastest - but I have to ensure that there's a good number slower than me.

    Maybe the aliens control the zombies just like in Plan 9 From Outer Space.

    Rule #!: Cardio! I'm with some of you...so long as they aren't Rage-infected, I'm good to go :P I'm thinking a crowbar, and knife and my bike. No fights at gas stations for me! I'd be just as concerned about the rest of the humans.

    This is exactly whay I'm about to start the couch to 5k running plan! I want to be able to RUN when those zombies come, because I can't count on them being shufflers - they might be the quick and the dead, or something like out of 28 Days Later!

    On top of all th ecardio I'm planning on getting in, I need to work on strength training (got to be able ot haul all those weapons about and USE them in a zombie attack!) and endurance (gotta be able to keep going!). I'll also be eating healthily to fuel my body with the good stuff and keep in tip-top shape. The upside to all this will be a trim, fit body that I'm going to WANT to preserve from a zombie apocalypse and will be able to do so too! ;)

    Zombie slayers, assemble!!! XD

    I'm trying to prepare for the coming zombie war. My gf swears it's robots we need to be worried about.

    She's weird. :ohwell:

    One of my friends dreamed of zombies the other night. She said her mom and daughter were "worthless in fighting zombies" and hid the whole time and she had to fight them off by herself...with a knive! Then she'd have to find them a new hiding place. She woke up exhausted and said she really empathizes with Rick on The Walking Dead now...she said it's draining trying to keep people alive and safe..lol:sick:
