Looks like it's the last day of nice weather this year. Going to take the bike out for a lap around the city, then clean it and set it up indoors for spinning season.

Let me tell you, when a Barrister Boy Arctic Express rolls through and the temperature never gets above -10f all day, the last thing I want to do is bike.

I have my first 5k tomorrow. It's a Zombie Run. We'll have three flags attached to us. The object is to cross the finish line with at least one of them. If the zombies get all three flags, we're infected.

There is no doubt that I will NOT be running the whole thing, but I'm hoping to run at least half of it. On top of just not being capable of doing it, I feel like crap. I'd hoped to be feeling better by today, but no such luck. Early night tonight, and we'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Are you asking if you've never heard of such a thing? :unsure:

:P

The zombies are volunteers who dress up as zombies and chase after us. I have no idea how fast they go, but I'm seriously hoping that they're not too fast.

Brazen is talking about an app on your phone that every now and then interupts your music to tell you that you're being attacked by a zombie and need to run away. I haven't tried that yet (I'm still way too much of a novice for something like that), but it sounds really fun.

There were two flags, not three, and I lost both of them. :(

I did, however, manage the 5k in 40:45 with a 12:56/mile average.   :showoff:

I ate an entire order of Little Caesar's breadsticks. Then shit out a huge turd.

I think I dropped a pants size.

That's a whole 4,500 metres further than I could run.

I'm not doing too well at the moment, one of my fitness targets, cycling the same distance as the Tour de France between its end and Xmas, is beginning to look out of sight; I need to do 800 odd miles between now and December 25th.   :hmm:
