Along with most of the
population of England under 50 years old, I dressed up for Halloween. It was an
excuse to wear my zombie bride outfit and to plaster my face in grease paint
and go overboard with the eyeliner.
I can see why Goths do it.
It must be fun scaring little children. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the
opportunity to terrify toddlers as we had no Trick or Treaters. At all. I guess
we must live in ‘The Spooky House’. Or maybe I look like I’ve already eaten all
the sweets.
It got to half past eight
and I resigned myself to the fact that I’d have to eat all the sweets and
chocolate I’d bought for the trick or treaters by myself. The shame.
But … was there a way to do
it guilt free? I could go for a run first. Although that would mean I’d have to
wash all of the Halloween make up off …
Or would it?
Decided to go for a run as
Runner 5 from Zombies, Run! game but an unsuccessful runner 5. Yes. Exactly. But it was
an excuse to go for a run dressed as a zombie. Without the neighbours calling
the local Special hospital.
It was fun! I only did a
quick 4 mile loop around the local area but it was fun doing it in grease paint
and I had a silly grin on my face the whole way. Not just the painted one.
I had one scary moment
though. A woman was taking an Alsatian for a walk on the other side of the road
and it saw me and freaked out. It properly went mental and nearly pulled the
woman over to get to me and eat me. Not a happy doggie. I don’t know whether it
was the greasepaint or whether she had raised it on a diet of runners but this
dog really wanted to get at me. If the woman had let go of the leash I would
definitely have been mauled. Not good. I put a burst of speed on and got out of
there.
I just need to keep avoiding that dog ... otherwise I may not need the makeup next year.
LOL I wish you'd run around this way I'd definitely have been up for that!!!
