Good on you! Building general fitness is a good thing, not only for surviving emergencies, but also for a long and healthy life.

I would suggest also working in some upper body and general strength exercise. Having some upper body muscle can be a good thing for getting out of trouble. When I need mental encouragement, I always think of those photos of the sinking cruise ship, and imagining what it would take to climb up, over, and out of it.
