My sister has been playing that for a month or two and just loves it. Me, traffic scares me WAY more than zombies do. :rolleyes:
You can do that in real life here in NW Oregon.

Would you choose to be a zombie or a survivor? This sounds like fun to me. We'll see if I have the guts to sign up when the time comes!
Um. No.

I ran that this year. So did Susan. It was a lot of fun. Susan was a survivor, I was a zombie. Neither of us fared well! :pQuote:

That sound hilarious... I don't even run and it sounds like fun... (the 5K race that is)
I love zombies (seriously, my love for all things dead-reanimated is the stuff of legend) and I love running...but a $12 app?! :rolleyes:
Eeeeexcellent! I'm afraid I wouldn't fare very well, either. So how was it? Muddy? Creepy? Exciting?Quote:

Training tip 2: You don't have to be the fastest runner out there..just faster than the person next to you. Think reserves..keep a lil fuel left in the tank. That extra burst of speed could be the difference between having a medal around your neck or teeth marks..
I wonder how it's calibrated. My average pace is around 11mm...but I can run that speed for a very long time.Quote:

Oh good, there are Aikido techniques for zombies :) because I don't run away very fast:

Basically, survivors wore flag belts (like for flag football) and zombies tried to get the flags. Survivors got a head start (I forget how long...5 minutes maybe?) and then they let the zombies go. A zombie could only take one flag from a survivor, but a zombie could take as many flags as they could carry. The super fast teenagers basically got all the flags. The only survivors I saw had long since been de-flagged. I don't know that any survivors made it to the end with both flags, but I could be wrong about that.Quote:

Note to self: Do NOT use new running shoes when doing the Zombie Apocalypse run!
Looks like a lot of fun, Cat!
