OMG! I just witnessed Lem turn into a zombie!

Ok, you guessed it! Iโ€™m running as Runner 5 in my Zombies, Run ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ world again. Having saved up my missions (I am still not yet subscribed, but itโ€™s on my Xmas list ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ) I can run for a bit longer now in this apocalyptic world. And not just this world!

Iโ€™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 ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ county!

AND... Iโ€™m into week 5 of Ju-Juโ€™s Magic Plan with a short, quick (but slow) run on one of my annual leave days. I do think Iโ€™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 ๐Ÿ›Œ and a slow recovery run ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ , I chose to do an easy 4K run. So a cozy-slow run is equivalent to a cozy slow morning in bed! Whoโ€™d have thought! And running to a training plan is yet another running world I have been fortunate to discover!

๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒHow many worlds of running can one run simultaneously?

Also am thankful to BrianUK for the tip of giving onesโ€™ post-run legs a cold ๐Ÿฅถ shower ๐Ÿšฟ. And it worked a treat this morning.

Happy running everyone!

Well done CBDB I havenโ€™t done a Zombie ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐ŸงŸ run for a while so I must be due one๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™ll probably give it a go sometime this week๐Ÿ™‚It was my first day back at work today after a week off so I got straight into it, which meant I couldnโ€™t run until lunchtime. I really really prefer running first thing in the morning!๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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

Iโ€™ll see you in virtual John Oโ€™Groats when you get there!๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

Fabulous! Yes I go on to the Zombies App once a week to unlock the episodes, as Iโ€™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 itโ€™s now just one.

And I prefer running in the morning as well. I know the feeling. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Great job! Iโ€™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 thatโ€™s two worlds.

Iโ€™ve just started using the Calm app to help me sleep at night and itโ€™s gotten me into a meditation learning program, so Iโ€™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 youโ€™ve got the win with total simultaneous worlds!

Ha ha, itโ€™s so 21st century where running in one world is just not enough! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ and yes, we need some meditative runs as well! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

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 โ€˜properโ€™ shower. Itโ€™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.

Well done Runner 5, multi tasking by running from zombies and progressing on Ju-Juโ€™s magic plan. I feel another zombie episode is calling me, so Iโ€™ll venture out for another one soon ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ

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 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Forgive me for asking, but what on earth is Zombie runs? ๐Ÿ˜‚

CBDB profile image
CBDBGraduate10โ€ข in reply toDups

๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ itโ€™s a fitness app that embeds a story into the fitness activity! As you run you discover more and more of the story. Itโ€™s really fabulous fun. Hereโ€™s the link to the Wikipedia entry en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zom...!

I haven't ran away from zombies in ages!

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!

Wow, so youโ€™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!!! ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐ŸงŸ
