Goal accomplished with the help of Zombies.

Yesterday's 5k event  was a success. Not only did I crossed off my life "run 5k" but it was also quite an interesting run, longer than I thought it would take (took me 1:06:12.4) . More than an hour of mud soaked sneakers which were quite heavier because of it. Obstacles were fun, nothing challenging I'd imagine. I got wet at the very end, rode a giant slip-n-slide and even got a nice electric shock to my head, which made me eat some asphalt for a second. The last part was unpredictable and most fun, really enjoyed it. Got a turkey leg, shot a bunch of disposable camera photos, listened to some very good live bands, and even "drank" jello shots from large syringes. Pure relaxation and also social activity. Talked to few people about different races, and saw A TON of zombieland, handmade, team made, and other custom tee's. So many people are into this, then there is a good amount of people who will have good survival skills and understanding of the situation in case any catastrophy to hit the planet.

Though we ran in Amesbury MA, we parked in NH town of Seabrook. Just a curious thing. Shuttles were going back and forth pretty frequently. There were Apetizers (<9min/mile) Entree (9-12min/mile) and Desert (12+min/mile) Most were in the middle and it was so crazy running with all these other people through mud and zombies. Hazmat suits, nuns, clowns, brides, santa, and few others pop in my mind. Realistically, any costume would would work with some blood and gushes.

My body was quite sore, not just the legs, and I liked that feeling. I will tr to incorporate more daily mild exercise in my life to make it as much a habit as meditation and stretch. Jsut 5-10min to start with, gradually increasing once i feel comfortable.
Michelle was in a lot of pain from soreness to bruised knees to pulled muscles. And she had to go to work the next day, what a trooper. Recovery on the way.

Upcoming in next few months:
Camping with family friends extravaganza Memorial weekend
Florida for few days with couple of friends beginning of June
Starting Art Specialist in middle of June

Gotta catch life before I rush through it.
