The groundspeak app isn't all that great because the iPhone's GPS isn't all that accurate. It's incredibly discouraging to not be able to find your first “easy” cache because your GPS thinks you're on the other side of the park.

LARPing all the way, though for a workout I suggest looking for some boffer larping as opposed to the interactive theater stuff, since some of those might involve an entire weekend of talking, which doesn't help the cardio as much.

If the medieval outfits seem a little too geeky, try to find a Lovecraftian 1920's LARP or some other alternative (while I did not check them out I know sourcelarp does post-apocalyptic zombies). Nothing helps the fitness like running up a large hill at top speeds to get away from some tentacled horror…

Our Barony of Loch Salann in the SCA ( http://sca.org/ )--in which sword fighting is an optional LARP-ish component---has found no problem with drinking buddies one of whom is downing root beer while the other has lager. Of course we're in Salt Lake City, Utah . . .

Just found your site, and love it. As the kids/memes say “it is relevant to my interests” ;D (Video game producer and fitness enthusiast and all around dork). I am a stargate NERD so I already approve of this post. My dorky fitness thing is DDR, it's my cross training during half marathon training (and well, all the time). Looking forward to catching up on more of your blog…

I would assume that you could break away from the Zombie Walk and try to satisfy you brain craving. As long as you don't mind being double tapped. Unless, of course, you want to fight the Zombies, in which you could just go to a Zombie Walk and start swinging a bat!

Note: I do not promote violence unless you are in a real zombie apocalypse.

First, Stargate is an awesome movie.

Second, after watching The Mentors, I'll admit I wanted to give LARPing a try.
