Have a Plan.

I know, I know.  Zombieland says that rule #2 is the double-tap.  That’s good in a scrap, but you need to have a plan more than that.  After all, ammo runs out – twice as fast if you’re double-tapping every time.

Having a plan is far more important.  Consider what you’d do if there was a class 1 outbreak in your area.  What about a class 3 outbreak?  What if you were separated from your loved ones, when notice of the outbreak came?  For most of us, reuniting with them would suddenly become the top priority.  How would you get there?  How would you avoid or go through hordes between you and your destination?  What about when you got there?  What’s your plan – hole up, or fight your way out?  What are the holes or weaknesses in your plan?

This is a two-part post.  Tomorrow, I’ll tell you my plan, and see if it raises some talking points.

So I think I mentioned last week that I’d started running here at work.  I’m surprised to report that I’m still going.  Twice a week, in fact.  And so far, I have not hit that plateau, so I’m still improving each time I run.  Nine days ago I ran the distance in 36m 54s; today I covered it in 33m 24s.

But the best part?  I’ve dropped 5Kg in that time.  I’m really stoked about that part of it, and trying desperately hard NOT to be my normal pessimistic self about when that plateau does finally come.

Maybe when the zombies come, I will have a chance of surviving, if I keep this up.
