Tonight I enjoyed my last supper as a human! :)
Tomorrow I am stepping OUT of my comfort zone and doing something I never thought I would EVER do! I am running my first 5K! I am running the Run For Your Life Zombie 5K/Obstacle course. Basically, I will be running 3 miles while dodging zombies that will be trying to take my "life" (aka my health flags) while running through mud, climbing over hay bales, through mud, swimming through water and dodging electrical obstacles! There will be 12 man made obstacles, lots of mud, zombie guts, blood and BRAINS!! :) I will be in horror movie heaven!!
You ask WHY would I purposefully put myself into a horror movie? First off, I am a HUGE fan of all things horror. The more gore, the better.........:) Second, I LOVE LOVE LOVE zombies, vampires, monsters, ghosts, etc. and third, now that I've lost this weight I want to push myself to see if I can do an actual run instead of just dreaming about doing something like this. I don't claim to be a runner, I just play one on t.v.
So tonight for dinner, my friend and I went to dinner at the Olive Garden where we loaded on up salad, bread sticks, bruschetta, and PASTA..........oh and we each had a draft beer (you know for carbs). ;) This was one of the many tips that I received in my prep for this race, load up on carbs the night before the race. I have my shoes and let me tell you those were some expensive shoes! I hated spending $150 on running shoes just knowing they will be covered in mud and muck but I know I'll get a lot of use out of them. Next was $50 for a good running bra so I don't knock myself out or give myself black eyes. Some knee braces, a white shirt that we decorated with some red paint for blood affect. And I think we are all set! Pictures will be posted soon!
Am I ready for this? I sure hope so. Chances are that I will cross the finish line with no health flags and I will become "infected" and become a zombie BUT I will cross the finish line full of pride knowing that I accomplished something that I never thought I would ever be able to do! I will be able to walk around knowing I just ran 3 miles, climbed obstacles and fought off hordes of zombies and made it through!
Zombies, watching out..........Team Dead Sexy is coming for you!!!!
