20k being done in bits

There's no way I can do 20k in one shot, I know, I'm not trained to do that and sadly I can't stop and start the Race Missions in Zombies, Run! (which I'll admit, makes sense, it's a race) but you know what I can do?

Pause the app. it's still running in the background of my phone, my phone which is charging after I did 8k tonight. I'll confess, Mr Psycho thought I'd finally cracked, wanting to go out during a heatwave but I bought myself a new running top and i was doing to wear it, Dammit!

Thus I set off - Runner 5 heading on another mission, this time with Runner 8 and Doc Myers for company as we attempt to uncover the mysteries that the Jeffro Complex contains and possibly rescue Doc Myers' girlfriend, Paula (also a doctor whose last name I don't know/can't recall)

...and that is now on pause whilst MrsPsycho rests up because she's done a full day's work as well as a 30 minute walk this morning, so she feels she's earned a bath, a cold drink and some supper. MrPsycho did wonder if the app will stay paused, I told him it's like the music app, if you pause the song, it stays paused until you press play again, even if you left it over night.

I can't wait to finish the mission tomorrow. For now though, I have turkey meatballs for supper

Take care

MrsPsycho out

😂😂😂 I’d seen posts mentioning running and zombies before, and just thought you were just imagining zombies chasing you to encourage you to keep going! Now I know it’s an app, I thought my zombie-crazy husband might want a go, but he says he’s sticking with the Nike+ app for now... 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️😁

heh,

obviously from my posts, i find it loads of fun, you get really immersed in the story and quite attached to the characters. makes me feel like I'm achieving something when I run.

Well done runner 5! In this heat too! I hope you rescue Paula in time!
