Zombies...RUN! Good Guys Finish Last.

This past weekend on October 22nd, my friend Charles Vassallo (aka Jazz) and I particapated in the first ever Run For Your Lives race in Baltimore. What is Run For Your Lives? It's an apocalyptic 5k race with rough torrain and 12 man-made obstacles, on top of that... you have a horde of "Zombies " chasing you and trying to eat your brains. Well not real zombies of course, but a bunch of volunteers dressed in full zombie make-up and clothing. Also not really eating your brains, but the zombies try to steal your life lines (3 flags). The object of this race is to survive and get through the obstacle course alive with a life line. Just imagine, flag football and a mix of 'American Gladiators' obstacles and zombies. Oh yeah... only downfall of this race, you can't fight off the horde. So any physical contact with a zombie, you are immediately eliminated from the race.

Win A Copy Of 'Can You Survive A Zombie Apocalypse?'

Ever since I was a kid I have always been a fan of the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' series of books. I recently discovered that the library in Bay Ridge has all the old classics that got me through elementary school. But my good friends over at the awesome blog Zombies and Toys are trying to take us to the next generation of these self propelled stories and I for one can not wait to give it a shot!!!





This is the very cool looking 'Can You Survive A Zombie Apocalypse?' written by Max Brallier. It is in the vein of the old "Choose Your Own Adventure" books and is capitalizing on the whole zombie movement going on right now (Zombies are in... Vamps & Werewolves are so last year). You can win a free copy by clicking here and following the prompts at the bottom of the post. Tell them CCD sent you... who knows, maybe they will pick one of our guys to win (wink, wink!!!).
