For my run home from work I ran the Zombies, Run! Halloween 2019 Virtual Race, Escape From Runaway Fairground 5K. The story was fun and I appreciated the send-up of the awful combination of magical thinking and capitalism.
I was happy with my pace; I ended the 5 km of the race in 26:49, so a pace of 5:22. It’s not my best time, but is consistent with my typical pace lately.
Entry into the virtual race is still available and it can be run until November 11.

Chased by hell at devils’ pace, you flee death’s vassals, homeward-bound. Join the Zombies Virtual Race – Escape From Runaway Fairground!

I woke early and headed out for the Zombies, Run! Halloween 2019 Virtual Race 10K. I ran the 5k in October and had been waiting for the opportunity for a longer run. Running along the water at sunrise was thrilling.
