Remember ridiculously photogenic guy? 
He was the guy who was running a 10 k race and had his picture taken randomly while running. The person who took the picture uploaded it and posted it on Reddit with the caption “Ridiculously Photogenic Guy” – it went viral and Ridiculously Photogenic Guy, also known as Zeddie Little, became an internet sensation.
Meet my friend Jessica.
That could be the most spectacular running photo EVER. When she tweeted it to me I was all “You need to buy it! Now!” and this is what is awesome about Jessica. She did! Her purchasing this photo and posting it on her blog put her in my Cool Chicks book. Afterwards I left a comment which said “We need to do a zombie apocalypse run.” And she responded with this.
You guys, it’s a Zombie Apocalypse run! A 5k obstacle course where zombies chase you while you run and they try to kill you! But not really because how would they sell beer at the beer tent afterwards if everyone was dead. I mean, I’m assuming they have a beer tent because what goes better with a zombie apocalypse and obstacles than cold beer.
The whole thing is so exciting but I’m totally bummed because even though I said I was giving up distance running, I signed up to do the Island Girl Run on September 23rd with my friend Natalie even though she said she would never run anything further than 5 k but I convinced her because I’m not ridiculously photogenic but I’m ridiculously persistent. Also, I mentioned beer and Natalie was all, I’m in. This is how I choose my friends…by seeing who will post awful pictures and drink beer. So far it’s worked well.
The thing is, the Island Girl Run is the day after the Zombie run. So now I’m wondering if it’s too much to do both runs.
These are first world problems, right?
Oh, and to make Jessica feel better here’s a picture of me doing shakey face which is pretty much the best drinking game ever.
p.s. Jessica is quite pretty in real life. Seriously. You can see regular pictures of her here where she documents her journey as she trains for a full marathon even though she was told she would never walk again without assistance, let alone run, after a horrific car accident. Hey, wait! Maybe she is a zombie.
Is it wrong, that every time I see that picture of me, I laugh with glee!? Sometimes, I even do this childish, clapping my hands, thing.
Its just so……EPIC.
I have to get a picture for you of my husband doing shakey face. Its awesome.
The zombie race…no can do this year, I will be on the way to my marathon. but next year? I’m totally in. ALL IN!
That being said…how fun do you think it would be to be the Zombies? Running around tormenting people? Hmmm…..my kinda crazy, indeed.
Thanks for all the kind words, Ms. Sharon. You rock!
You are Canada’s funniest blogger. I say it is so and therefore it is truth, right? Anyways your picture made me laugh and say who the hell is that? Doesn’t look like #
Muskokawoods Sharon or speed skating mama Sharon. Are you secretly like three different people? Masquerading as one? I can hardly wait to see which Sharon is next.
Oooo….I LIKE that. Do I get a medal? Or a trophy?
And yes, I’m very Cybil
Hooray for real women looking like real women exercising!
So, shakey face . . . I’d like to know the objective and/or rules for this game. I’m intrigued.
The objective is to have the worst picture. Basically you just let your face go completely slack and then shake your head back and forth super fast while someone takes your picture. The drinking just makes you not care how awful you look. I was drunk when I wrote this post.
Beer, Zombies and Shaky face drinking….this is the greatest blog! So pleased I found it.
Thanks for dropping by, Nikki!
I can’t run but I can sell beer if there is ever a zombie run – oops, but all are gone, well except me, all alone in the beer tent, hidden.
You drank it all, didn’t you?
i had NO idea about Jessica! that makes her racing EVEN MORE SPECTACULAR. way to go!
Oh I am totally going to be your friend! Just wait until we meet. Bad pictures, and beer. I’m nearly sold on Blissdom now, just at the prospect!
Five words: Blissdom Saturday Night Costume Party
seriously? oh, I’m so there!
This is awesomesauce. Jessica is awesomesauce. Someone I know just wrote a blog post about yoga, and she posted the most ridiculously unflattering picture of me ever. I look PAINED.
And the link to aforementioned post?
I would LOVE to do that. The Spartan Sprint was a blast, but dodging zombies sounds like so much fun!!
See? This is why I like you!
There’s a Zombie run?? And Jessica is beyond cool for posting her race picture.
Yes!! Zombies! How awesome is THAT!
That doesn’t even look like you. I’ll shake my face with you any day.
