Since high school (which, by the way, was SEVEN years ago. How did this happen?!?) I haven't done anything really competitive recreationally. So, I'm super excited because my sister-in-law, Solana, talked me into doing the EPIC Relay with her this summer! That's right... I'm getting a SWAG bag and a T-shirt!! Super legit. But, honestly, I'm so excited to have something to motivate me to exercise more for the first time in forever.
And I HAVE to tell you about my new favorite activity. This is one of the most brilliant things ever to happen in my life... ZOMBIES RUN
Can you please believe me when I tell you how fantastic this is? Imagine this: a phone app that keeps track of your pace and how fast you run, tells you a story about Zombies taking over the planet, and as you listen to your music it randomly interrupts and says, "WARNING! Zombies 50 meters.... beep. beep.... 30 meters.... beepbeepbeep.... 10 meters.... BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!!!" And you are forced to outrun the zombs!
In Jacksonville, there was a runner's path around a lake by our apartment and there would be times when Mitch and I went running there. Very puzzled people casually strolling by would watch as this crazy girl started sprinting for her life, looking behind her as if she was being chased by imaginary people. Was that girl me? Yes. Do I regret this? Zero percent. BEST phone app EVER.
