It's a workout group. They're 8-session camps, and I'm in the middle of boot camp #3. (I skipped September.) At the beginning and end of each one, we do a fitness assessment. It's been really neat to see how much I've been improving. I'm still a freakishly slow runner, but I can do a lot more squats and pushups in a minute…

Made a request to join :-)

Thanks!

Hey dekutree, this may be a dumb question but how do you put photos into your posts?

7hunters, are you an IT Crowd fan too?

7hunters, I am really enjoying your blog! I can't wait to hear what the Commander has up his sleeve.

Just looked this up. I think I'm going to get one. It looks like it would really help.

A couple of weeks ago I learned the hard way that it's getting too cold to run in a tank top. Today I learned that I had better start running earlier if I want to finish before dark. Pretty soon, it'll be dark when I'm done work so that'll be the end of outdoor runs for the year. :grumble:

I do a mix of outdoor and indoor. Depends on my mood and the weather. It's getting dark earlier now, so eventually I'm going to be stuck on the treadmill for the winter. I talk about ZR all the time: on my blog, on facebook, with my boot camp classmates. They're probably all sick and tired of hearing me. But it's such an…

Week 6 of the 5K program for me. Slow going, but I can't wait to start on season 1 :-)

Mizzie1980 told us in my confession thread why she's so fast. She's Biker 5! Too bad I don't know how to ride a bike :grumble:

Ha! That's why your speeds are so fast! I was wondering what I was doing wrong when I compared my times to yours, LOL :laugh:

Thanks for the inspiration asp415! It kept me going today while I was doing the Week 6 Workout 1 because I got super frustrated halfway through. (My fault for picking a gravel trail instead of the usual paved ones.) I've run daily for the last 4 days, even though I know I'm supposed to rest, and I think my body is mad at…

That's awesome! I've caught myself answering back to Sam or the Dr under my breath a few times. :laugh:

Ha ha! Welcome Runner 5! Luckily Sam and Dr. Myers are very patient people. And we're all here to support you and get you to week 8 :happy:

Remember that the 5 minutes is a freeform run, so don't feel you have to run the whole time. And yes, she does count down during the run/walk drills as babyshme says. I redid Week 2 because I was scared to move on to Week 3, so that's another thing you can do if you feel you need to. I just started Week 4 yesterday and…

Success! I did the Week 3, Session 3 run today with no pain!! 3.98 km in 46 minutes :-) I bought a pair of Saucony Hurricane 15 runners. I did as you all suggested and slowed down considerably. I feel like I'm jogging at Zombie speed, but it has really helped with the breathing and the pain. My boot camp instructor also…

Great to meet you dekutree! I just finished Week 3 tonight, but I still can't run/jog for longer than a minute. Kudos to you for jogging the whole freeform :-) And the Halloween race sounds very cool! Keep it up, and know that we're all here for you Runner 5!

chellebublz, you have to go to the person's page to follow them. It took me a while to figure that one out. So go to https://beta.zombiesrungame.com/missmylin/ then you'll see an option to follow me beside my name. I started following you :-) Congrats on finishing the 5K!! (Edit: Oops, just saw the other post where you…

asp415, it says that your profile is private. If anyone wants to follow me, I also use the same user name: missmylin. I'm only on Week 3 of the 5K program though, so not much interesting in my world yet.

Very cool! The achievements are a neat touch.

Awesome!! Keep going Runner 5 :-)

Thanks talaysia! I was able to bring back that missing run :-) I'm struggling with this though. My endurance seems to be getting worse rather than better. My distances are getting shorter and shorter, and I'm still struggling with my breathing. Even worse, now I'm in pain. I've always had arch pain in my left foot (fell…

Same for me. Same order every time. I figure I'll change it up every couple of weeks to keep boredom at bay.

I figured out tonight that if I use Google Chrome, then I can edit the runs. I normally use Firefox. Does anyone know what the little icon beside the trash bin is supposed to do? I pressed it, thinking that it might be why I can't edit yesterday's run, and the run disappeared! Talk about frustrating. I sent a support…

Week 1, Session 2 tonight. Did it on a treadmill, and the accelerometer on my iphone (or the app) didn't pick up the distance I walk/ran nor my pace. I tried to edit the run on the website but it won't let me. Very disappointing. But on the bright side, breathing was marginally better. And I was able to run for parts of…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I did Week 1, Session 1 last Sunday. Not bad, but breathing was tough halfway through the walk/run part, and I couldn't run at all during the free-run. I'm glad to hear that many of you built up the endurance; it gives me hope that I might be able to run more than 15 sec at a time!…
