Ooh, very nice...so does it say whether it's better to run slowly for long distances or fast for short? Just wondering if I need to adjust my training.  |

Ha, and it was completely coincidental...I'm out-of-state and just happened to be on my MIL's laptop at the right time.  |

I think a slow shuffle with arms raised while making moaning sounds (to evaluate your exertion level, of course, kind of like the "talk test") would be best.

WW Z is a decent book. Supposed to be making it into a movie.
MTA: To tie all this back into running, a couple years ago, the Southern Conference held their XC Championships at Moccasin Bend Mental Hospital in Chattanooga, TN. (My daugher runs for a Socon school)
While researching the area, I found this blog:

I guess its good to have a plan, just in case.
PS: I wanted to have T shirts made that said "I ran like crazy at Moccasin Bend" , but my wife and daughter put the stops to that. |

This thread really makes me hope that I can someday be a zombie/undead. I'll bet I'm a better/faster runner, then.  |

Probably less sweaty, as well.

the funny thing is that I misread this title and wondered why a post-mortem analysis of your marathon training was in the 'off the beaten path' thread.

And no worries about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease...I mean, who cares. That's the best thing about being undead--one doesn't have to worry about contracting any horrific diseases. |
