Well I didn't survive my first race, but I finished

Hi All,

I ran my first race October 27th at "the Zombie Race" in Milton Ontario. I was in sight of the finish line when a zombie grabbed me in a bear hug and took my last flag. There were 582 entrants, with 429 finishers. I placed 251 at a time of 35 min, 22 seconds. That included dodging zombies, climbing a huge wooden jungle gym, running a maze, up a couple of ski hills etc.

I am so happy that I did this. I am now eyeballing a 7.5km fat assed trail run. Problem is that the most I've done is 5km and the race is on the 17th so not a lot of time to train....

P.s. How do we add pictures in this new web format?  Thanks figured it out

that's awesome!!

don't worry about doing the 7.5k, the most I ever ran before my 10 k was 7... you can do it, just pace yourself.

btw, i can't open those links, i guess cuz i'm not a fb friend?

You are awesome for even attempting it!  You WIN!

if you want non FB friends to open the pics you need to import them into your computer then load them on OH.  Congrats on your success!  

Thanks for the tip. Once I upload it, then it's a simple right click, copy, then paste into message.

Running from Zombies is definitely the way to go!  Congratulations !

Awesome !! 

It sounds like you had a lot of fun and accomplished something huge at the same time.  My kinda excersize ! lol

Thanks for posting the pics!   Congrats on your achievement!  You look like you're having a ball!  Nice!  Did he eat your brain?  

He wanted to eat my brain. I escaped though in a final burst of speed. It was a cold, wet and muddy day and I look forward to doing it again next year.

Amazing...Looking forward to doing my first 5 km after being 15 months post op...I had all the plans and was ready to do it and then I hurt my knee...So slowly getting ready for my first 5 km..
