Sorry it's taken a little more time to get this one up, but I kept running into some technical issues....but those are resolved now....so we are good. As most of you know, last weekend I headed up to MD to volunteer at a 5k obstacle course race, but I was dressed up as a zombie and placed out on the course to try and pull people's "health flags" [read: flag football flags.] If they lost all of their flags, their time at the end was recorded as a zombie time instead of a human time. I was out on the course for about 5.5 hours chasing people, pulling flags, and attempting to pull flags when I wasn't being hit, slapped, punched, shoved, or cursed at. Needless to say it was quite the experience.
I left at 4am to make the drive up, and when I got up to the event site, I made my way over to the volunteers area to get zombie-fied. They had professional make-up artists there to paint our faces and destroy our clothes in a believable manner. I had also brought along my white contacts to complete the effect. There were plenty of other zombies around that commented at just how freaky I looked with the eyes. Here's a picture of me as a zombie when I got my make up done that morning. And the video of my point of view of the race.
Ready to eat some brains!
After the event I decided it would be worth the effort to drive home in all my make-up [while trying to avoid being spotted by other drivers] to head over to my parents house to try and scare my mom. And scare her I did! [Most of you have already seen the video but I'm posting it again because it's just too funny.] Also, it was my younger sisters homecoming dance that night, so we thought it would be fun to take some pictures we all of us dressed up.
It was quite an interesting drive home!
All dressed up.
Happy Zombie.
She's so proud.
