I'm sure I'm gonna regret this

Remember waaay back when... you know, when I was talking about getting into better shape.  Yeah... that...  I haven't done a very good job.  But now I have some motivation.  Zombies.  Yup... for real this time!
I have let Justine talk me into registering both of us for Run for Your Lives.  It's a 5k obstacle course filled with zombies who want to get you.  At least the race we're registering isn't until next July.  In Minnesota.
So, I've not got 9 months to whip my sorry @ss into shape... or those zombies are going to eat me for lunch!

But seriously, having this deadline (lol- DEADline) will give me the motivation I need to get moving.  And it does look like awesome fun.

  1. Oh ya, for sure! Nothin' like a deadline to push you toward doing something. I mean, just think how embarrassing it would be for you to collapse at the 2k mark! (Just a little friendly motivation there. Hee-hee.) I couldn't run 5k if my life depended on it. Well, maybe if I had 9 months to get ready for it. Maybe. Maybe not.

    1. Yes, the threat of zombies and avoidance of humiliation are great motivators... mostly the avoidance of humiliation!

    1. I'll have you know I did a full 30 minutes on the elliptical this afternoon. Hmmph! I can't wait to see what my plan is as well! I guess I'll start out with just general conditioning over the winter and focus hard on the running bit in the spring when it's safe to run outside. Since this is an obstacle course we'll probably build a track of some sort around the property with logs to hop, gates to climb and such to help get in practice.

    1. My daughter talked me into it... OK.. she didn't have to talk TOO hard. At least I've got plenty of time to train.

    1. V is planning to come along. Either as photographer or he may sign up for being a zombie. We'll see... But I definitely want someone there taking photos!! And the organizers have photographers and videographers there. We have to agree to let them use any footage.
