Runner Five 04:26
Runner Five Copyright 2014 by Mary Crowell Almost done with Season One, next mission on the list! Nothing interrupts the run: on that I do insist. I fiddle with my earbuds; check the laces on my shoe. I need another gear to get my farm to level two. For Abel I’ve been running—Abel Township, that’s the place. Find supplies and get resources, ‘cause I’m building up my base. My pace is getting faster as I run most ev’ry day, Listening to the runners getting bitten, going gray. [Optional Last lineX2] Chorus: I’m Runner Five. I am staying alive, So my town can survive. I can run, so I run for my Abel. Running and running for Abel Town. Faster so zombies won’t chase me down Running and running for Abel Town. My helicopter crashed right outside of Abel Town. A rocket launcher shot it—brought my transportation down. And worse it fell a place where flights of zombies like to roam. A zombie Runner Five named Alice chased me to my home. I’m wearing her old number with her backpack on my back Listening on the radio to Eugene and to Jack. Apocalypse is recent. There are sports bras to be found, Chipotle apps, and ammo lying thick upon the ground. Chorus I’ve cried with Doctor Myers, and I might be sweet on Sam. That Runner Eight won’t trust me, but I do not give a damn. I’m useful for the intel and supplies that I can bring. As Runner Five I listen, but I never say a thing. And I really hope that Jodi (Runner Four) will get to live. She likes knitting, and she’s careful. Her death, I won’t forgive, But runners do get bitten. There’s a cough and then a moan. A cure for going gray is alas, a thing unknown. Chorus Bridge: I’m not ready to die— Hope is in good supply; On my missions I fly; We need food on the table. And I’m Runner Five; There is no doubt that I’ve Got the heart and the drive I run fast, for my Abel. Faster so zombies won’t chase me down Running and running for Abel Town. There are many Runner Fives avoiding zombies while they run, Many of them geeks like me discovered that it’s fun. It’s cool to check your numbers, see your route upon the map. I might be just a little bit addicted to this app. Chorus plus two lines below Faster so zombies won’t chase me down Running and running and running and running for Abel Town!

about

I started running with the Zombies Run 5K Training app back in September of 2014. I was hooked instantly! After finishing the app and running my first 5K, I moved on to the Zombies, Run! app and ran three more 5K's in as many months improving my time significantly every race.

I love the Zombies, Run! plot lines, characters, data tracking, and base builder. (You get to earn gears and improve your own little version of Abel Township!) Truly, I am in love.

And what better way to show it by writing a song?
