As with run #8, no target. Just trying to recover. Felt better today. Faster, and lasted longer. Still nowhere near what I used to be able to do a few weeks ago. The pollution must had wreaked havoc on my lungs, and its taking time to repair.
Found my Fitbit - it was still clipped to my PJs.
Seems like I wasn’t alone:
We are aware that some Android users are experiencing issues with the Zombies, Run! in-app store which is preventing people from obtaining Season Passes. We’re currently working on a fix for this which will be made available as soon as we can — in the meantime, we will be keeping you up to date via the Zombies, Run! Twitter feed.We’ll also be releasing a new version of Zombies, Run! on iOS which fixes an issue with the Season 3 Special Pass. Currently this will only be available to buy for people who have previously bought any Season 2 Pass and the Season 1 Race Missions.
We’re changing this so that anyone who has previously purchased Season 2 content (a Season 2 Season Pass, Season 2 Pass Plus or a Season 2 Side Mission Pass) will be able to get hold of the Season 3 Special Pass.
Rest assured that the current launch sale for Season Passes will not end until shortly after these problems are solved, so you won’t miss out on your chance to get access to all of our upcoming Season 3 content at a discounted price.
We apologise for any inconvenience that has been caused. We’re working to get these problems solved as quickly as possible!
In case you’re wondering what this “Issue” looks like:
No target, just constantly trying to recover my lung capacity and fight some kind of sneeze/cough combination cold. Difficult to run any major distances. Not helped by the fact I’ve lost my Fitbit somewhere, and can’t find it either in my house or on the 3K route. Guess I’ll have to use Fitbit solely for weight tracking now.
Tracks: Endomondo, ZR, Nike+
Zombies, Run! Season 3 is out now. It is an update to the ZR app, so you should be able to continue progress. If not, wipe the cache, relogin and setup the install again.
ZR3 appears to break gmusicfs, so I’m tinkering with settings to see if I can get it back, and it does appear to be VERY laggy at first start.
On the plus side, you can download the first two missions of Season 3, the Season 3 Radio, AND get a season pass for Season 3 at the moment. The update is backwards compatible so you can still play Season 1, Season 2, Race, Radio, Supply, and Airdrop missions.
Stats-philes will enjoy being able to see their stats on the app now.
The app seems to be pretty volatile, and I’ve had it ANR (App Not Responding) many times on me already.
A recap of the story behind Zombies, Run! Seasons 1 and 2, the Race Missions, and the Side Missions.
Today’s weekend run. Target 15K. Achieved 5.13K. Still trying to shift this cold and its unfortunately having an effect on my running due to reduced lung capacity.
Some interesting news about Zombies, Run Season 3 from the blog:
It’s been months in the planning - we started talking about our plot arcs and returning characters back in October 2013 - and we’ve got some fantastic surprises coming up, both in plot and in the guest writers we’ve managed to snag for this season. One thing we’ve wanted to do for ages was to introduce a bit of choice into the game for players. I know we’ve already got the base builder, and many of our Runner Fives have made amazing and beautiful Abel Townships. I thought it’d be fun to extend this kind of choice just a little bit, and give Runner Five a couple of options about what they’re actually going to do during the game. It’s this kind of thing that makes games-writing so dynamic and engaging. So, once or twice this season, you’ll be asked to make a decision. We had to think carefully about how to do this - for one thing, you don’t want to be having to stop and press a button while running! And it’s been a design principle from the beginning that we’ll never ‘punish’ the player too much. After all, you’re already out there running, so you’re already a hero! All this means that you won’t be able to destroy Abel with a single bad decision - but some of the things you do will have knock-on effects later in the game. And I’m excited to hear what you make of what we’ve done!

Today’s weekday run. Target 8K. Achieved 5.39
I think I’m coming down with some kind of cough. Possibly brought on as a result, or partially as a result of, the recent air pollution. It’s making me wheeze, and I’ve noticed a definite shortness of breath, or apparent reduced lung capacity.
Today’s weekday run. Target 8K. Achieved 4.61K
Broke another record today, and got a sub-5 minute 1K :-)
Despite the Sheffield Half Marathon being cancelled moments before the start, thousands of runners disobeyed orders and decided to complete the race anyway.In heart-warming and sometimes amusing scenes, the people of the Sheffield rallied behind the ‘rebel runners’ – handing out bottles of water and offering loud cheers and applause.
Organisers were ‘very reluctantly’ forced to cancel the race before its 9am start time because of ‘insufficient water’ being delivered by suppliers and a subsequent safety risk to runners.
Sheffield Half Marathon somehow still a roaring success despite chaotic cancellation | Metro News.

You may have noticed I hadn’t logged any runs for a while. Well, you are not alone, it seems. Nike+ noticed too…

Just made some updates to my Zombies, Run 2 Google Music FAQ.
If anyone tells you “You can’t achieve your goal”, just remember that there is only one person who can tell you what you can and can’t do – and that person is yourself.
With the right incentive and motivation, a human can do many wonderful things. I’ve seen this video many times, and always come back to it whenever I feel a dip in motivation. If he can do it, so can I.
Today’s target: 8.80k. Achieved 8.38k. And broke my 1K record, finally making it below the 5 minute mark at 4:56.

Today’s target: 16K. Did 16.51K in just under 2 hours. Not my fastest or best time, but I’m pleased because 8K + 16.51K = 24.51K, which means I’ve done more than a Half Marathon distance over the course of the weekend.
