Run for Your Life! (3.2 miles)

So I cheated and did a zombie run instead of a real run today. It was part of the run for your life 5K obstacle series, which just means that you run through mud, crawl under barbed wire, and jump over hay bales to get away from stumbling and dashing zombies who are trying to grab flags off your belt. I considered it to be an interval run (although I should really do a long run tomorrow as this is the peak of my training). We'll see.. So I ran the 5K (and didn't "survive" with all my flags until the end... but hey those zeeks are determined!) and then got all gussied up with Marissa/Allison to try and pull some flags of my own. See below for my lovely frat chic costume (just missing that red solo cup)...

Run the Whirl! (1 beer)

Took some time to have some fun playing whirlyball this week (cross between bumper cars and lacrosse). Four friends from work came out and their participation helped me to earn $80 more dollars for my fundraiser. Here's a picture of Tommy's team:

Kettle Moraine (15 miles)

Single track trail and undulating hills... who could ask for more? A distracted 15 mile run as part of a support effort for my partner who ran the North Face Endurance Trail run. 

Palos Hills (28 miles)

If you do a training run that's more than the distance you'll run on race day, does it make it less daunting?
