OMG! I just witnessed Lem turn into a zombie!

[CBDB]

Ok, you guessed it! I’m running as Runner 5 in my Zombies, Run 🧟‍♀️ world again. Having saved up my missions (I am still not yet subscribed, but it’s on my Xmas list 🎄🎁) I can run for a bit longer now in this apocalyptic world. And not just this world!

I’ve also finally made it to Somerset in RunLEJOG! Yup, this slow runner is still down there in the south somewhere, but looking forward to exploring the apple and cider 🍎🍏 county!

AND... I’m into week 5 of Ju-Ju’s Magic Plan with a short, quick (but slow) run on one of my annual leave days. I do think I’m fortunate for how much I actually like the act of running. This morning I was actually humming and hawing as yesterday my knee niggles acted up a bit, as the day before was my long 8k run. But when having to chose between a lie-in recovery in bed 🛌 and a slow recovery run 🏃🏻‍♀️ , I chose to do an easy 4K run. So a cozy-slow run is equivalent to a cozy slow morning in bed! Who’d have thought! And running to a training plan is yet another running world I have been fortunate to discover!

🌍🌎🌏How many worlds of running can one run simultaneously?

Also am thankful to BrianUK for the tip of giving ones’ post-run legs a cold 🥶 shower 🚿. And it worked a treat this morning.

Happy running everyone!

Well done CBDB I haven’t done a Zombie 🧟‍♀️ 🧟 run for a while so I must be due one😊 I’ll probably give it a go sometime this week🙂It was my first day back at work today after a week off so I got straight into it, which meant I couldn’t run until lunchtime. I really really prefer running first thing in the morning!😃

As for LEJOG, I’ve just passed the 450 mile running mark and I’m on the shore of Ullswater in the virtual world.

I’ll see you in virtual John O’Groats when you get there!🙂👍

Fabulous! Yes I go on to the Zombies App once a week to unlock the episodes, as I’m not sure if it adds them up if you do not go into the app. So would love to know if you could unlock several now, or if it’s now just one.

And I prefer running in the morning as well. I know the feeling. 👍🏽🏃🏻‍♀️

Great job! I’ve been running through Zombies as Runner 5 for awhile now and also working my way through middle earth as I listen to a Lord of the Rings podcast (discussion of the books, chapter by chapter, not an audio reading). So that’s two worlds.

I’ve just started using the Calm app to help me sleep at night and it’s gotten me into a meditation learning program, so I’m considering trying a run with meditation, totally silent, focusing on....something, not quite sure yet. But alas that precludes my entering both the zombie world and middle earth, so you’ve got the win with total simultaneous worlds!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Catwise]

Ha ha, it’s so 21st century where running in one world is just not enough! 🤣🤣 and yes, we need some meditative runs as well! 👍🏽💪🏃🏻‍♀️

You’re having a busy time aren’t you CBDB! Enjoy your time in Apple and cider country!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Yesss I am 🍏🍎🍹🍺! 🤤 😋

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10]

Woohoo!

Because I generally have a dog with me when I run - when I could - and in the winter they more often than not are in need of hosing down after a run, I used to hose my legs and trainers down in the garden before going for my ‘proper’ shower. It’s amazing how warm that water felt on a cold day, post run.

Of course my dogs are spoiled and we now actually have a hot tap out there too.

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Ha ha. Sounds brrrrr 🥶🥶 but good for legs!

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Well done Runner 5, multi tasking by running from zombies and progressing on Ju-Ju’s magic plan. I feel another zombie episode is calling me, so I’ll venture out for another one soon 🏃‍♂️🧟‍♂️

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix]

Don’t get bitten! 🧟‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

[Forest_Run_Beginner Graduate10]

Oooh, I really must try the Zombie Run app, it sounds like a lot of fun. Perhaps I'll give it a go in January, it's always a miserable month and with all the talk of locking down after Christmas, I think some extra fun might be required!!

Another excellent run for you CBDB and great progress on your LEJoG journey too, fantastic 👍👏🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Forest_Run_Beginner]

🙏👍🏽

[Dups Graduate10]

Forgive me for asking, but what on earth is Zombie runs? 😂

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Dups]

🤣🤣 it’s a fitness app that embeds a story into the fitness activity! As you run you discover more and more of the story. It’s really fabulous fun. Here’s the link to the Wikipedia entry en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zom...!

[Dups Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

that really does sound fun 😂😂

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

I haven't ran away from zombies in ages! Must give it another go soon but probably not until after Christmas, I just don't think I could get into it at this time of year 🎄🤣🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️ Well done on your progress over multiple plans and platforms! 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Yeah, I might get multiple-runners-personality-disorder 🤣🤣🤣 doesn’t sound quite correct 😂😂

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Haha yes, just call it MRPD 😂😂

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

👍🏽🤣🤣

[Cantsoimgonna Graduate10]

I love a good zombie run but I try and do it when the weather keeps people in doors or its dark so no one sees my "sprints" lol!

[CBDB Graduate10 in reply to Cantsoimgonna]

Wow, so you’re the courageous No5 runner who keeps the Zombie sprints switched on! I fear I switched as many Zombie sprints off as I could, and still they pop up!!! 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟
