A week ago my nephew Haden called me on the phone and asked "Are you running the Zombie race?" I told him I didn't think so. He was all sad and said "well, I thought I could run it if you ran." I just could tell him "No". I got myself signed up and worried how I was going to handle running when I haven't ran in about 2 months. I had every intention of starting to run to get ready but it never happened. I wasn't thrilled about being cased by Zombies either.
The morning of the chase my stomach was all upset from being so nervous. I had nothing to be worried about it was just so fun. Haden and I worked well as a team. I wore the Survivor shift and he wore the flags and ran away from the Zombies. Throughout the run we had multiple hurdles to make it over, around or through. Some were harder than others and some I just refused to do and went around them.
Haden did great, and made it to the finish line with all 3 of his flags still on. The Zombies were nice and didn't chase after the young one very much. One of the Zombie's did get a hold of one flag but didn't get it off.
We alternated between running and walking and I think Haden was worn out by the end, but I was proud of him because not once did he want to quit. He did amazing for his first run and we finished in about 52:35. It really was fun, and I'm glad that I did it.
