PAX Fitness Group Meet-Up [Skybridge Saturday 12 PM after Make-A-Strip]

edited March 2013 in PAX East
Here is where us PAXEast folks will be able to discuss a meet-up so we don't have to litter our thread and make the Prime folks feel too bad about having to wait to meet up.

I talked to Zerzhul and he said it'd be cool, but if not we can bring it back to our big thread.

EDIT: Since I see some new faces commenting about fitness, why not check out the PAX fitness group?

We will be meeting at 12pm at the skybridge that overlooks the lobby.

    As a head's up for Pokecrawl I'll be on Yellow Silver and more than likely buying drinks for fellow Fitocrats. I think we'll have a much easier time setting up a meet-up after a schedule comes out for PAX however.

    I'd love to meet the people giving me 'props!'

    I mentioned it on Fitocracy, but would any Pax-East Fitness groupies be interested in a "Zombies, Run!" morning workout? The playlist would have to be determined beforehand so we can synchronize the 'music' parts of the mission.

    Slower runners (not unlike myself) could play the zombie(s). If they catch up: congratulations, you no longer need to worry about the pain of your belabored lungs because you've joined the zombies and no longer have need to breathe.

    Pros
    Great way to work off the "headache of victory" from the Pokecrawl
    Good reason for the group to get together

    Cons
    Participants would need the "Zombies, Run!" app ($4.00)

    Failing, I'd be up for any get-together to meet the Fitocrats ;-)

    I have zero desire to do any sort of exercise or healthy eating at East, that's why it's a vacation. Count me out of Zombies, Run! :P

    But, I'm definitely down to meet up if I don't have any scheduling conflicts with panels.

    Gonna agree with Chorazin on the whole it's a few days off for me. But I like the idea, I remember someone wanting to do a Fun-Run too.

    I missed out on the Poke Crawl to my great disappointment. I'm trawling the party lists now (looks like some people will be going to Rock Band night at the Brattle). I'm leaning towards BoardGame of Thrones at the Westin to learn how to play some games.

    I'm also considering doing the not-approved camping with the PokeCrawl without actually signing up. I feel super guilty thinking about this though so we'll see. I'd love to buy some Fitocrats some drinks, even if I've fallen apart exercise-wise these last two weeks.

    As for exercisey stuff right now I have a plan to run every day of PAX, though we'll see how that goes and if I reevaluate my training schedule.

    There is an official camping team called Team Snorlax, talk to Atlus about creating the team (other people will love you for it too).

    We've tried before to set up a 5K or a jog or anything, but it seems most people don't have a desire for these types of activities at PAX. :)

    I'll be doing the Rock Band party and possibly Destroy Boston, but can meet up with folks if you decide a meetup is in order on Thurs. Otherwise, I'm game for anything.

    As long as its not inclement weather I will probably run around the waterfront every morning for a few miles, otherwise I'll just elliptical to freedom in the hotel early. I'm not super fast and usually anti social while running but im down to run alongside other people and talk about nerd shit while sweating, or try Zombies, Run! which I just realized is on Android.

  • kohanaikohanai Registered User regular
    while I'm out of the zombie run, I'm super game for a Fito meet up! Will be watching this thread closely!

  • wrccitroenwrccitroen New EnglandRegistered User regular
    This probably sounds extremely sexist & shallow but will there be loads of cute women running around? 'Cause that may motivate my skinny arse to run around a bit haha

    I'd be up for some of that ... I fell off the exercise wagon for the past week week and changed focus about 5 weeks ago from running to all-over training with P90X, so I'm sure my speeds have suffered. However, I'd love to get some of this on! Sad it didn't happen last year, but maybe with better planning for something casual like this will work.

    @ishtra It's hard to work 2 jobs and make costume and workout I got to tell you that! Got to give you props for that.

    Just got on Blue Silver with a +1 :D though I'm still looking into making Team Snorlax happen both for others and if I can't get my other two friends on my team.

    So it sounds like a couple folks are doing the PokeCrawl and some are doing BoardGame of Thrones and some maybe both? I'm shooting for both. I have the strong urge to get drunks and play board/card games.

    As for the Fitocracy challenge, time for this guy to try to work his way back up after losing the #5 spot I held for so long. Doing jack squat (no not jack knife squats) for two and a half weeks will do that to ya.

    Also: THREE *^&*#IN' WEEKS!

    :) thanks. I wasn't planning to work both originally (was actually hoping to have a little time before the con), but that's how it goes :P

    No hotel for me. I would have to drive back home which is like 1/2 hour away.

    I've never been to PAX before, so I'm really not familiar with the area. However, I would really like to do a morning run with some folks. I also don't really care how fast we go. I just like socializing while I run. All I need to know is where and when.

  • huggyd1huggyd1 Registered User regular

    Yeah, I would join in on a morning run before the days' activities get started. I'd enjoy socializing like that too.

    There's been at least one at each PAX East as far as I can remember. It's probably reasonable to assume there will be at least one again.

    This is awesome! Might be up for the Zombie run. I want to try and get some exercise done while I'm away...especially since I'll be travelling in a car 10 hours on the way there and on the way home :p

    My Saturday is open from Make a Strip to Kris and Scott.

    Yeah, i guess the showering thing would be an issue for me too. I'm staying about 15 minutes south of the convention center. (google maps calls it the Neponset/Port Norfolk area) Don't know that I want to drive up, pay to park, drive back to the hotel, then drive back to the convention center, then pay for parking again. Are you guys all staying closer? If anyone else is staying south of the convention center; I'll still be running. Just let me know, maybe we can do a morning jog together.

    That's unless I can drop my backpack off before the run, then take a quick shower or bird-bath in someone else's room. Though, that seems a bit presumptuous among people who have never met before. lol

    Oh no, this was all the way back on the third page... No matter, bumped up now. So let's plan to meet up on the skybridge right after the make-a-strip panel on Saturday for a meetup and group photo. I have coins to give to our fitocracy champ and also our weight loss champ (guess I should find out who that is...)
