Well I survived my first 'Zombie Run' 'Jolly Alpha Five Niner' 😁

So I was curious after reading Birdlady64 's post the other day about her zombie run so decided to download the app and give it a go 😁

Well, it was something different and thats what I needed 😁

I tend to usually run the same route so something different was useful.

Didn't really know what to expect but it worked well with my Spotify play list quietening the music when needed .

Managed to collect quite a few supplies on my way round but curious as to why I was given a sports bra 🀣🀣🀣

I might have a few extra pounds BUT a sports bra is definitely NOT required !

Anyway I managed the run without being caught by the Zombies 😁

Not sure why but I couldn't set the app for exactly 5k so 5.2 was the closest I could get which ended up as exactly a 40 min run !

Each run I have done recently has felt that bit easier than the previous one so I might do another 5k then start gradually increasing my distance again πŸ™‚

Yes, but you wait until someone runs with you talking and starts to cough i nearly ...... something I can’t write here, it’s a bit of fun and makes me add bursts of speed

Enjoy

Needed a change of underwear? 🀣

Though I don't think that's what a sports bra is used for normally.

Haha , perhaps I'll wear it with my tights on the next run 🀣🀣🀣

Well done, Ian. Can’t believe you did a zombie run πŸ˜‚.

Your pace is creeping up again, I see! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Instructor57Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020

Ha ha a yes, it was something different πŸ˜‚

To be honest I'm not really paying much attention to my pace but if it improves that's fine 😁

So have you not done a Zombie run yet ?? πŸ€”πŸ˜

No, not yet! I’m not ruling it out, though. Looks like fun.

Ha ha! Well done! Not a bad 5k run there Ian.

I didn't really think you actually would go and try this! It's something a bit different to try isn't it? You picked up more supplies than me though - and I did warn you about the sports bra! Did you get some underwear as well?

I don't think you can set it for a particular distance - just time. I set mine for 35 minutes. You never know - one day I might manage a 5k within that time 🀣

Instructor57Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64

Haha oh yes, I remember now you mentioned the sports bra , perhaps I can use it as a sling to attack the Zombies πŸ˜‚

And yes , other underwear also haha

I notice you can set distance but 5.2 was the closest I could get πŸ™‚

Ahh well.

Ready now for my next encounter 😁

Brilliant!! Your post gave me a real laugh especially collecting the sports bra πŸ˜‚

I knew you’d be curios to give it a go. I’m glad you enjoyed your first mission, they’re a nice change now and again, something different and a bit of fun. Have you used your credits to start building your camp yet ?

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix

Haha yes it was fun !

No not used credits , to be honest I've not figured it all out yet 🀣

Is there a sequence for the missions ? I can't figure out what's next πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

It should just lead you on to the second one, it’ll just say β€˜Your Next Mission’ at the top of the screen.

If you tap on the Base icon along the bottom of the screen 3rd one in you’ll see your camp and what you can get with your credits, you just drag the buildings into it.

Yes, I thought I'd give it a go 😁

It's just something different !

Not sure I'll wear the sports bra though !

It could clash with my tights 🀣🀣🀣
