Run For Your Lives

So, yesterday, it started.  Ive finally gotten my ass in gear to start training for the zombie apocalypse.

Melissa and I are going to be running in the Zombie 5k 'Run For Your Lives' in December, and I figured it was time that I got my shit together.

Check it out here:
Run For Your Lives

They have been airing commercials about this race during the Walking Dead on AMC the past couple of weeks.  The concept is pretty cool....you are given three 'flags', just like in flag football.  The zombies (after you have run the race, the next year, you get to sign up as a zombie if you want) then try to catch you and get your flags.  Lose your flags, and you are 'dead'.  I want to survive.

Ive run probably 10-15 5k's over the last 5 or 6 years.  I know I can run the race as a 5K, but this has obstacles (my biggest fear is a straight wall, using a rope to get over), as well as the zombies.  Normally, 5k's (obviously) are about your recorded time...I have no interest now in getting a decent time.  I just want to complete all obstacles and survive without 'being turned'.

So, over the next two months, im going to be running, working out, and trying to eat better.  Not really sure why it was important to post this up, other than now Ive made it 'public' and now Im a little more accountable to myself.

BRING ON THE MUTHA FUCKIN' ZOMBIES!
