KILL ZOMBIES!!!!

So, I'm running through an amusement park putting 9mm rounds into the faces of the undead. They'll never catch me. Why? Cardio!

Something I learned while running...is that thinking about running while running SUCKS! You find fault with your form...you think about the pain in legs or the stitch in your side...you worry about how far there is to go. It's not so bad over short distances where you might correct your form for the best possible finish. Over long distances though, all you're doing is psyching yourself out.

To fight that off, I visualize. I put my mind in a better place...like slaughtering zombies...and forget that I'm running altogether. By the time I "get back", I'm a quarter-mile down the road. I might as well have teleported. I actually have a series of action sequences from movies, cartoons and my own imagination that carry me as I run. Most times, I even set them to the music I'm listening to...imagine shotgun blasts to the chorus of Boom by The Roots.

So when you think you seeing me on the road running, I'm really...
...at CitiField in a Home Run Derby vs. Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder.
...crossing over Skip-To-My-Lou at Rucker Park.
...playing lead guitar on the center stage at Woodstock with Titanium Faceplant.
...charging down hill with Russell Crowe swinging my broadsword at some unruly barbarians.
...piloting the Gundam Heavy Arm into a massive mech battle that only I'll survive.
...trapped in a warehouse blasting caster shells at K'Pirates with Gene Starwind.

Happy dreaming!
