My Zombies, Run! mission tonight involves setting up a transatlantic communications array.  My group (based in Britain) was able to briefly establish contact with Toronto's CN Tower, whose radio operator was Margaret Atwood, played by Margaret Atwood.  It was pretty awesome.

Congratulations, hun!

I'm on my sixth consecutive shift and I might be picking up a shift tomorrow night, so I haven't gone anywhere near a gym. I do stairs when I'm at work though, 40 flights a day. Sometimes I can do them all at once but I usually split it between a couple breaks.

I haven't tried Zombies 5K, but I think it operates under the assumption that you can't run for very long yet.  You start small and build up to a 5K, under explicit guidance about pace, stretching, etc.  Zombies, Run!, by contrast, is self-guided.  You make your own speed and distance goals, and the software isn't privy to those goals; it just knows how fast you're going and feeds you a story about zombies.  My brother walks to it and only breaks into a run when zombies attack.  That said, ZR's only mission length settings are 30 minutes and 60 minutes, so it does assume that you can go for at least half an hour at your speed of choice.  If you can go longer, that's great too -- it switches into "radio mode" after the mission is complete, and instead of mission updates you get your township's postapocalyptic DJs goofing off in the radio tower between songs, though they may be interrupted by zombie attacks. 

Necromancy... which is appropriate given the talk of zombies in this thread.

I've been doing body weight work lately (which is made easier by the fact that I'm dropping weight), and I'm starting to do more gymnastics-type work. I started doing some very low-level rings exercises and oh god I am so sore today.

Now that I have lost twenty pounds I am considering taking a Zumba class taught by my neighbor.

Woah congratulations Riri! As soon as I have the money (Adding 400.00 to my monthly expenses is kinda wiping me, but a friend says she might be able to convince them waive the joining fee for me) I want to get a membership at the YMCA.  Until then I've been getting back into my free weights at home and some beginners level yoga.  I don't really get the metaphysical or philosophical aspects of yoga, but I am way down for the parts that make my back not hurt anymore.
