A Lost Child Relying On My Sleepy Efforts

[Couchphoenix]

First time venturing out this week and after a restless night and hardly any sleep my alarm went off at 5:15am .

Could have easily left it today, but no I set that alarm for a reason so bleary eyed but resolute I put my kit on, laced up my Brooks, banana, drink and few You Tube motivational vids to get me in the mood and off I set.

It was still dark outside, but I decided to go for the next Run Zombie episode ‘A Lost Child’ set off ok and within no time at all I found myself picking up supplies for camp, until I heard over my headphones that a child had been spotted wandering around outside in the wilderness, your going to have to pick up the pace the voice said, you’ve got 3 zoms on your tail, so I found myself sprinting down the road until I’d reached her....at which point I suddenly heard a mans voice shouting ‘leave her she’s with me’!! .........

Well I won’t spoil it for you, so far as to say I did manage to rescue said child, who turned out to be a bit of a chatterbox 🙄 and also the mystery man....but these bursts of energy sapped me of what little energy I had after my sleepless night and it turned out to be a hard earned 6k.

Reached home, walked the hound, showered, breakfast and added a few buildings to my camp using the credits I’d earned from the items I’d collected ( how old am I again 😂)

Anyway I’ve felt absolutely knackered all day, but I’m glad I made the effort, hopefully I’ll get a better nights sleep before my next venture out there.

Happy Running everyone and if you do decide to try a zombie run be careful out there 👀 🏃‍♂️🧟‍♂️

That sounds both wonderful and scary, I’m jealous as my watch doesn’t enable me to download this to it, i might just have to carry my phone again,

Thank you 😊, I have an armband for my phone, which is comfortable enough, mines made by MPOW, they’re good quality and not expensive on eBay. The Run Zombie game is a nice change from the norm and keeps you entertained as your jogging along 👍

What a fab run, runner 5!! And I love how much fun you’re having with running and zombies! Big thumbs up from me! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 (I always forget to do my camp, having too much fun with everything else on Zombies,Run)

I’ve got one of the girls in work hooked on it now, she’s a better runner than me and her camp is already looking better than mine 😬

I just want to say 'well done' because whatever the run was like, it was a run and you did it. These are the ones that keep us out there and maintaining our fitness.

Got to be done GTFC and as you say a run is a run....still enjoying it and I’ve learned to accept the rough with the smooth 👍🏃‍♂️

I though briefly abut tbis for my lunchtime run in the woods - but didn't want to get freaked out!I admit it I am a coward!

[Couchphoenix Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

It’s not that bad, go on be brave and give it a go. It does get you to pick up your pace when you hear ‘zombies detected, within 30 metres’ and you can hear them as they get closer, but it’s a laugh and something different and it tracks your miles and time etc. Go on I dare you 😉

Maybe on Saturday then....

Well done BB! 👏👏👏👏 Great determination... you could so easily have sneaked back under the covers!

It’s worth feeling tired achieving that tho 👍

Hope you manage a better sleep 😴
