Nerding Out, MAN

New runner 5 looking to help out Abel Township. Getting fit again to run from zoms. See "about" page for more info!

[nerding-fitness]

I’m down in weight!

So I weight myself daily (so I can see the ups/downs and keep track. Also helps me “what’s going on with my body? Am I getting sick?” etc) 

and I’m finally out of 240! It’s only 239.5, but that 3 seems to make all the difference! 

Aiming for 235 by Halloween!

[nerding-fitness]

I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning, because I was scared of starting week 3. Didn’t think I could run for a whole minute 5 times. 

Told myself “Just go to the bathroom, weigh yourself, then decide.” 

I’m up a pound, so I went out and I’m so glad I did. 

I did 4.5 km (2.8 miles) in 47 minutes. So that means I’m under an hour for my 5k at the end of the month for the virtual race. I’m so excited for this, and I shaved almost 10 seconds off my last run.

I still feel awful and whatnot because I can’t do as much as I’d like, but looking back from when I tried again in the summer, my pace is 4 minutes (exactly) better. I still need to shave a minute and 10 seconds off before I hit my PB (I really love those 3s?) but if I keep this up, I think I can do it

I’ll definitely have to redo this week though. No way I’ll be running for 5 minutes straight next week.

Okay so, here’s the note (email) all the virtual race runners got from Sam today.

A briefing. For a sticky situation. In a warehouse. With delicious treats.

31 days to tone up to look good in my halloween costume

Might not happen

but I did learn I need to start lifting weights and not just cardio. So I’ll do that in the morning

Zombies, Run! in a nutshell

10% collecting sports bras

10% laughing too hard to run

10% listening to dead people give you important info

20% wincing and turning down the volume while Carena shrieks “JAMIEEEEEE!” into your ear (and praying for her to have another asthma attack)

50% crying while you run and/or screaming a character’s name into the void.

[nerding-fitness]

Sooo....this is the million dollar question:

Do I redo week 2 (finish up the other 2 missions) or move on to week 3? 

I can just run for a minute, but idk?

[nerding-fitness]

I ran for a minute straight. My foot started bleeding, it was the worst minute of my life, I didn’t think I could do it, but I ran for a minute straight. Okay, it was a glorified waddling jog, but close enough, right? I redid week 2 (workout 3) because, heh, I haven’t been going But I put my alarm across the room and had to get out of bed to turn it off. “Hey, I’m already out of bed, might as well go.” And I definitely don’t regret it. It was just 30 second run drills today, but the last 2 minutes of the workout I was like “I’m gonna see how long I can run-no wait-I’m gonna run for a minute.” Because that’s what next week’s workout is. I thought I was kidding myself but it worked “Just 30 seconds. Anyone can do anything for 30 seconds. 30 more seconds. Now 20. 15. 10…done!” I couldn’t stop grinning for the entirety of my cool down. Now to get shoes that are wide enough and won’t cut open my heel (my shoes always end up breaking on the right for some reason.)

Today was a super lazy day. Finished episode....2 on the way to class (took 2 days, because it was more than 25ish minutes) then did radio mode on the way back.

I don’t think I like Runner 8 too much. Well, it makes sense but like...Idk??? I don’t trust her (like she doesn’t like me)

Ah well. I’m gonna try and get up early tomorrow to head for a 5k training mission! (and I got a scale, so that should help)

[nerding-fitness]

So those in the virtual race got a sneak peek at the loot. The file name? medalhyyyyyyype and I laughed hard in the middle of class. OOPS

[zombiesrungame]

Check out the sweet loot that our Virtual Race participants will be getting! These just arrived in our office today, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and finish of the medals, race bibs (who doesn’t want to have a Runner 5 number?), towels, pin badges, and more.

There are only a few entries left for the Virtual Race, and true to our word, we won’t be opening any more beyond that - mostly because we can’t make enough medals. So if you’re still on the fence, it’s time to jump off, put on your trainers, and get ready to run!

356 days until my sister’s wedding

355 days to get in shape

I got this.

[nerding-fitness]

Finished the first mission (finally) on the way home

and started radio mode and 

“This one’s dedicated to Sam!” Just Dance starts playing and I lost it on my way home.

People were giving me weird looks but 100% worth

[nerding-fitness]

stages of caring about sam yao, as supported by a wealth of observational evidence

stage 1: ok he is kind of precious i understand why everyone freaks out about him kind of

stage 2: i definitely don't have feelings for a fictional character ha ha that would be weird

stage 3: i definitely can't ship him and five because they're an oc/self-insert. i am a much better fan than that. a much purer fan.

stage 4: HA HA !!!! I DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE FEELINGS FOR A FICTIONAL CHARACTER!!!!!

stage 5: why am i crying

stage 6: damn it all to hell i am too emotionally invested in the well being of a fictional character

stage 7: 5am hell

stage 8: U FKRIGNIGNG!!!!!!! DINGUS!!!!!!! I HATE YOU SO MUCH AND WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

stage 9: um hi everyone this is my FRIGINGING HUSBAND please DO NOT TOUCH

[nerding-fitness]

?

I used the app on the way to school today. Got about halfway through.

Didn’t realize I’d lose my progress if I paused the mission and left it for a while, so I did the first half again on the way home. I went faster, but collected less supplies.

If I start mission 1 tomorrow, will I have to start from the beginning again? (Just so I know if I have to leave early/take the long way/wander around the campus)
