In 2025 I ran more kilometers (1261) than any year since I started running consistently in 2014 after I started with Zombies, Run! I'm happy I could be more consistent this year and was especially thrilled to finally get back to doing an in-person race in September.

Speculative fiction writer Naomi Alderman has purchased her co-creation Zombies, Run! from the cryptodorks who had been mismanaging it for years. I was thrilled by this news when I saw it this morning.
She wrote about the meaning of her writing and owning the game in The Observer today: https://observer.co.uk/the-critics/games/article/im-a-novelist-whos-just-bought-a-video-games-company-heres-why-you-should-care-about-games-writing

In November I ordered the medals for Zombies, Run! Virtual races I ran in 2023 and 2024.
The package had a long, weird delay. It was handed to DHL on December 5th and then sat for a long time before being handed over to USPS. Finally, it was sent from Chicago to Montreal on February 5th. Two days with Canada Post got the package to me here in Halifax.
I'm happy to finally be able to add these to my other medals.

I've been running with Zombies, Run! for years and, with an update today for the game's 10th anniversary adding new buildings, my Abel Township is a cozy bastion in the zombie apocalypse.

I enjoyed the goofy typo-inspired Satan Claus mission that just arrived in Zombies, Run! thoroughly as I went from mid-peninsula, across the bridge and around Dartmouth.

Run 2021.10.20
I enjoyed running to the first mission of Zombies, Run!'s Pax Germanica story. It's set in Roman occupied Germany and features werewolves, so it's a nice break from zombies.

I enjoyed a run with a wacky sci-fi story of an AI being implanted in a human's brain so it could be smuggled.
