    got on the treadmill for a nice 30 min jog. I feel great for my race Saturday, I am going to try and enjoy every minute of it.

    Wave if you see me in the herd :) I'm in the first heat of 5Kr's.

    Will do!!!

    I'm doing the Zombie Dash next Saturday night at Robinette's. Great fun if anyone else is going.

    There's a Zombie Dash in Grand Rapids?? I've been looking for one but can't find the website. Do you have a reference?

    Is it sad that I am absolutely creeped out by the Zombie Dash or I would totally do it?

    Thanks for the info on the Zombie dash!! I was planning on doing one in Indiana next year, but this seems more toned down and looks like a great beginner zombie run and I don't see an age limit so I am hoping me and my son can do this!

    I don't think it's going to be scary, will be hard to focus on zombies while running.

    It depends on how old, but under 18 needs to run (or be a zombie) with an adult from what I saw.

    Thanks, finally saw it on the registration page and registered my son and I last week. We are looking forward to it!

    I did it, granted I walked most of the way but I had a blast and am looking forward to the one in October. I am also starting C25k this week in the hopes that I can be more prepared for the Zombie Dash in October.

    I'm in the first heat of the 5k. Friends have me worried that it will be so packed that I can't run but have to zig zag around people but we'll see. I know I'm ready to go have been running for months now.
