Bring on the Zombies

Those of you who don't believe in the Zombie apocalypse, I hope you are in good shape. For those of you who understand the impending doom that is zombie infested horror, I hope you have one of these. The Zombie Survival guide notes that one of the critical elements to surviving a Zombie attack is fitness. Aside from subscribing to a general fitness routine Brooks advocates the always be prepared mentality. While I do not plan on stocking my basement with canned goods and bottled water, I do intend on being able to outrun a few brain hungry undead. The first rule for survival, is to be able to outrun, or outfight a horde of flesh crazed Zombies.

Secondly: I don't have to be fast, I just have to be faster than you. Surely we all know and understand that Zombies will attack those with the most flesh to quell their hunger, next they will go after those who are slower. Likely the two will intersect. Fat, slow meals are the targets for the hungry hungry hippos, er I mean Zombies. Today I am proud to report I will be neither.

I have succeeded in running one mile without stopping.  While this is not a huge feat in the world of ARMY men and women that I live in, it is gigantic in the rest of the population. So while I am not fast, I am probably faster than a few people in the fair city of Leesville. There are many out there who cannot run a whole mile; I for the first time in my life am not one of them.
