Zombie Apocalypse Run

 It's the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!
Not really.....but it was fun pretending for this 5K!
It all went down in the Provo Canyon where we all got numbers and two flags to attach to our body. Some runners signed up as Zombies, and other just as Runners. 
When the starting bell rang the runners took off and passed all of the "Zombies" in a cage along the trail. About three or four minutes after the initial bell rang, a second bell rang releasing the Zombies.
The goal was to make it to the end without getting "bitten" by the Zombies (having them pull off your flag).
I am happy to say that WE ALL MADE IT SAFELY TO THE FINISH LINE!! 
Well...all of us except for Jake. But that was only because he was antagonizing the Zombies while "protecting" Jessica and I. Basically he asked for it. 
I'm surprised he we didn't go home with a battery charge. He was charging people, slapping their hands away when they were trying to grab our flags while making animal noises....we don't really know what got in to him. 
Maybe it was the HUMONGOUS burritos full of potatoes that I bought us for dinner right before the race....in my defense I didn't realize how late it was. 
That was most definitely one of the worst ideas I've ever had. 
Overall it was a great run!!
We even got free t-shirts saying whether we were Infected or Survivors! Two thumbs up for 5k's!!! Five million thumbs down to eating a burrito full of steak and potatoes right before them.
