“Tell ‘Em” –
Sleigh Bells
[No
stats today, as my app crashed halfway through my run and lost all of them.]
Today
pushed me up until my limit, decided it wasn’t enough, and pushed me just a
little more. It was grueling.
Do
you remember waaaay back to day one (I
Can Change) when I theorized that heading south would allow me to get
around the advancing horde and avoid a lot of zombies? Today basically looked at that theory, laughed
at it, then proceeded to try and eat my face.
For
roughly an hour, I did not stop running.
That’s what it felt like anyway.
Realistically, it was more like running for a minute, walking for a
minute. And, again, this was not
full-blown sprints, but it was still a decent pace for a jog, and I’m still in
pretty terrible shape. Just when I
thought I had outpaced a swarm by a pretty good margin, another few zombies
would pop up from somewhere else, and I was forced to keep on running.
After
finally getting a reasonable distance from them, I was able to slow to a walk
for about 20 minutes. And then more
zombies. Everywhere zombies. And so, even though my lungs felt like they
were going to explode and my legs were actively thinking of ways to murder me,
I ran again. As it turns out, even when
you don’t think you can run another yard, the groan of the undead is more than
enough to keep you motivated.
At
least I’ll sleep well tonight.
