The Post-Apocalyptic Workout

Where I've Been Since This Blog Started.

I ran a 5K.

I ran a 10K.

I ran another 10K, faster this time.

I ran a half-marathon.

I'm back at the gym lifting regularly.

(I still haven't shot a gun. But I haven't had to use my CPR training. So there's a plus.)

A friend recently alerted me to the "Run For Your Life" 5K obstacle course where you outrun...zombies.

I'll be running this weeks after my 40th birthday.

If you're in the Southern California area, maybe you'll join me?

 

The Post-Apocalyptic Workout

What the hell is this?  I'll tell you what it is:

Of course, this little social experiment depends on a whole host of factors: time, money, a true lack of actual nightmare scenarios, that sort of thing.  It's not about fitting into a size two or filming myself eating bugs (not gonna happen) or going into full "Survivorman" mode.  It's about learning how to carry my own weight - figuratively and literally.  I've created a list that's linked under "the workout" there to your left.  It's by no means an exhaustive list, and I imagine I'll be adding to it substantially as the year wears on.

I've envisioned this as sort of an audience-participation project, so please share your ideas, your criticisms, your input, your knowledge, and if you want to take this journey with me, please do.
