Much colder outside so into the garage for the treadmill and Zombie Run 4 completed 5k in 27:47 with a sprint at the end to avoid Zoms :-)

Sounds like fun! Well done on the time - I've been meaning to download the zombies but you need your own playlist as well, don't you?

I walked day 2. Much colder than running at the same nominal temp, however it is done :-)

In the Run Zombie app you select a playlist and the the story unfurls around your music. So in between tracks you are updated on the particular mission or just given some background information .... a bit like Laura ;-) During the songs you will be told you've picked up some goodies (food, clothing, ammo) and occassionally be warned that Zombies are closing in and you have to put on a spurt to get clear. You don't really have to "do" anything but it does give a bit of variety, distraction and added interst to a run to see how the story pans out. :-)
