After much hemming and hawing and absolutely refusing, I gave in. <---- Clearly this statement proves I'm the perfect example of how to properly and successfully withstand peer pressure.
I watched The Walking Dead.
Melissa pressured me. Abby pressured me. Even Emily pressured me.
Ok. Really only Melissa did.
Ok. No one really pressured me.
I just felt like an outsider. All alone. Standing outside the inner circle. It’s a sad and lonely place, y’all.
I couldn’t take it anymore.
Guess what? I stinkin’ love the show. Honestly, I’m shocked.
Daryl, the redneck, has totally grown on me. He’s da man. With the bow. And arrows. And the cool motorcycle. He gets stuff done.
Melissa described him perfectly as the Redneck Jack Bauer.
Jack Bauer kills terrorists. Daryl kills zombies. They could totally be BFFs. Although, Jack might get frustrated with how long it’s taking to fix the world. He generally gets stuff done within 24 hours.
Now, when I’m running, I just imagine I’m training for the zombie apocalypse.
I just hope they’re the slow moving zombies. ::snort::
Raise your hand if you watch the show. Keep your hand down if you think I’m crazy. ::snort::
My husband and son are obsessed with zombies. Every time I go to a race expo, I see a shirt, “Training for the Zombie Apocalypse” ha.
maybe i need one of those shirts. ha!
are you running the dallas rock-n-roll half?
I don’t watch the show but I do have an Zombiesrun app I use when I run (IF it actually qualifies as running).
Fun story line too.
The first day I clicked, zombies chase.
Bad idea.
I was eaten in the first few seconds! UGH!!
I no longer choose to be chased!
I wonder if that option would work in the real zombie apocalypse.
“Sorry Mr/Ms Zombie, I choose not to be chased.” giggle
ohmygosh. i need that app. what’s it called? HILARIOUS!

Have you seen Boondock Saints? The actor who plays Darryl is in that movie [and the second one] with another equally attractive [or more] irish man. LOVEEEE those movies.
I haven’t watched The Walking Dead because I am the biggest wimp in the world. And I detest the noises zombies make. Ha! But Matt loves the show and I am usually sitting next to him reading while he’s watching the show, so I make him pop in headphones hahahaha!
If the zombie apocalypse comes, I’ll most definitely be eaten, but it’ll just be a distraction so the rest of you runners can escape!
i haven’t, but i remember you mentioning it. i need to see if netflix has it!!
You crazy.
no, i’m not.
you know you feel lonely and isolated. come to the dark side.
So my husband flipping loves this show. I cannot watch it. It is one bandwagon I will not be riding on. The zombies gross me out, and I am a nurse. I know super gross! Anywhoo I have really acute hearing and their gross dead fleshy sounds gross me out. I love that my husband is a nut about a show. Now he knows how I felt/feel about Gilmore Girls.
it is gross. snort. super duper gross. although i am getting more desensitized. probably not a good thing. snort!
the zombies are gross. i close my eyes a lot. but it’s a dang good show. not mad men good, but good.
