Yes, that is what I imagine will happen. Carol is pretty bad a$$.
The 5K app is pretty solid. Your trainers chatter on the radio and tell you what to do and it plays your playlist in between while you're actually doing things. There are prompts too, when you need to change what you're doing.
Unlike the traditional C25K, this one involves stuff like skipping, heel lifts, and even some stretching breaks. I was surprised that I was successful with it on the elliptical last year since I pretty much expect to fail at everything exercise related. :P
I agree that the last episode was a good wrap up. I assume Carol and Tyrese will come in like hell blazing to save everyone ;)

Ha! Zombie Run. I'm gonna have to look that up. I'm most interested in the 5K training app, but the 2-3 minute segments sound interesting, too.
And yeah, the second half of the season was slow. I couldn't help wonder how they were going to finish off the season considering I didn't think they were going anywhere, but they wrapped it up well enough.
My son is a soldier at Ft. Hood and it was terrifying to hear what had happened. My phone was dead and it was the longest 2 minutes of my life getting it charged so I could see that he was ok! My heart truly hurts for the families that got the worst news possible.
I'm also heartbroken for the shooter's family. Does anyone know what happens to them, now? Do they lose home (if they were on base) and benefits? Just a horrible, horrible thing all the way around.

Allergic to cats, so I haven't had one since a misguided adoption of a stray kitten we called Sputnik - the terrorizer of kneecaps (she would hide in dark corners, launch, claws dug into knees and then slide down).
Do love all the Simons cat videos though.

I'm always a bit random, so it's nice to have an area to post miscellaneous thoughts of a sleep deprived brain.
Yay Walking Dead! R and I watch it every week and he's also reading the trade paperbacks as they come out.
The Grove was seriously gutting. I agree. I thought the second half of this season was soooooo slloooooowwwwww though. Ugh. I hope that next season picks things up again.
The real walking dead in the show are the humans, not the zombs. :/
And the Terminus folks are totally cannibals. "Yay."
I believe the next season will start with them escaping Terminus and then getting to DC. Yay DC!!
If you're a zombie fan, I can't recommend the Zombies Run! app enough. The normal app is 2-3 minute segments of "missions" that alternate with whatever playlist you give it. It's an awesome exercise app and I find that I really look forward to working out so I can hear the next part of the story! There is also a 5K training app for Zombies Run! that I went through last year and it's great. It's a couch 2 5K type of thing, but I find it to be better than the standard C25K training.

Best of luck to you on your surgery next week. We hope that it goes well and that your recuperation is a quick one.
It is good to know that you're doing better after the difficult 4-1/2 months of not being able to work. Congratulations on your weight loss despite the challenges you experienced after surgery.
Please let us know how it goes next week.
Take care, Member Services Team
