"Tori Tori Tori! There is a sweet zombie race this weekend I think! They give you a map and you go to the checkpoints, and zombies chase you and if they get you, you get guts thrown on you and you become one!!!!!!!!"
I thought he was joking at first, haha but he was serious! So on Saturday we drove to Seattle, went to the temple, and then went on to the race.
The race was a 5k, three checkpoints, each about 1 mile apart scattered around Seattle. Volunteers were spread throughout the streets acting as zombies, and if they tagged you, you then became a zombie with them. It was a BLAST!
This is us waiting for the coordinaters to begin the freaking race! It was raining pretty hard core and it was super cold! It stopped raining right after we started running.

SEXY ZOMBIE...
(:
GRRRRRRR!
Looking off into the distance........pondering life........deep in thought.........of what's to come..........
ZOMBIE FACE!
These pics were all pre-race faces, haha while we had lot's of energy...and were freezing our butts off! And excited for this thing to start!
haha......our fatty faces....i SWEAR! our faces are swollen cause it was super cold outside and we were running forever! I promise we're not this fat in real life!
We didn't think to take a pic of the crowd when it was still a little light outside and lot's of street lamps....so this is a crappy pic of a few runners at the last checkpoint in the middle of a park. According to the coordinator there were around 500 people signed up for the run, there was quite a crowd and it was a blast!
Ok, so I was wearing Jake's XL t shirt just for the pic, so yes, I look like I'm prego, DON'T WORRY I'M NOT! haha jake's wearing my medium. He ran in mine, I used his as a scarf for a while, but it got super hot, so my sweatshirt and the XL ended up around my waist for the run. I looked like a nerd. haha but I didn't care, I was too busy DYING while Jake casually jogged a freaking 20 yards ahead of me the entire time! haha he slowed down for me sometimes lol. That's what I get for trying to keep up with someone who has to run 3-5 miles three times a week............
This one's a little better. We had to wear these glow sticks which meant we were human. If we got tagged, we had to give them up and be a zombie.....yeah, I got tagged on the second checkpoint.....
The first checkpoint
So the first mile about KILLED ME! haha i was dying! There were a few zombies along the way, but we got past them pretty easy. Me and Jake were keeping up pretty well with the hard-core runners, we had to keep up cause we didn't know the way to the checkpoints, and didn't want to waste time figuring out the blurry map. We made it pretty easily other than me almost dying, but after the first checkpoint I did pretty good. I just had to get over the first mile, then the next two were fine (:
The second checkpoint
So the second checkpoint was in a little park with a fence all around it. There was only one little opening to get into the park, and of course there was a zombie hiding right close behind it. So, Jake--being that 20 yards ahead of me--ran through the entry first, DRAGGING THE ZOMBIE BEHIND HIM, so when I came through the opening the zombie was RIGHT IN MY PATH....seriously, chuck norris wouldn't have been able to get past him....so yeah, I didn't count it as a tag because first, I was mad cause jake dragged it to me, and second because i didn't want to be left alone a zombie while jake finished the race........haha so we continued to the last checkpoint
The last checkpoint
So the last checkpoint was THE BEST! haha. It was in a larger park and it was FILLED with walkers! (zombies). So as we came close to the park, there were already like six zombies watching us and blocking out path. (once you get to the small circle in the middle of the park (safe-zone) you were good).
They started to come at us, so Jake BOOKED IT up the street next to the park. haha and with it he dragged five of the zombies, haha leaving one for me! (: (: the zombies were bookin it right behind jake, and Jake would have barely made it to the safe-zone, but then three other zombies popped out and cut him off, lol so he got tagged. As for me and my zombie, he kept blocking my way, but then another human couple came, so when he jabbed towards them, I booked it and made it safely to the safe-zone (: haha Jake was mad cause he got bombarded with zombies, while I only had to dodge one (: (: (:
