I'd run, since its a well known fact that zombies are wicked slow.
Unless they are the 28 Days later \ 28 Weeks later style zombies. Course, they weren't really zombies... Getting back to the point:
Plan 1 Move on
Necessities from A-H
A: Pack your shit and move for less populated areas that could maintain food sources(mountains, forests, etc. places with high grounds, trees, and not flat areas)
B: make sure you include renewable food sources. Fast growing foods would be more desireable. Hunting could always be a source for meat, as long as you pick the right area. Small, quick reproducing animals suck as rabbits would be ideal, along with chickens for meat and eggs.
C: Quiet weapons suck as compound bows and crossbows would be desireable for hunting. silenced weapons would be hard to come by, but would be perfect for not alerting local zombies.
D: make sure whatever you bring with you can be easily transported, you never know when you could be overrun.
E: if you live in the city, or in an apartment, revert to
Plan 2F: Beware of other
ALIVE people. they can be more dangerous than zombies. urban pirates would roam the land, living off of feeble, weak, and scared people. they would not think twice about slitting your throat in your sleep, leaving you drowning in your own blood as they moved on to the next group of fickle survivors.
G: Keep medical kits for everyday wounds and breaks. Remember, do not try to heal an infected friend, if you want to heal them: do them a favor, Put one in their head...
H:Above all, make sure that you move between several different self established safe areas. never stay in the same place too long, never become too comfortable, and never think that you are safe. Nowhere is safe, only safer than other areas.
Plan 2 Stay put
Necessities from A-I
If you live in an apartment, chances are you will be one of the first to die. i have no suggestions for a situation like this.A: Buy plywood. Two sheets on each window, one on the outside and one on the in. Zombies do not have super strength, but a determined survivor would do anything to get into your house.
B: fill every bathtub, shower, sink, and even toilet to the brim with water. you never know when the grid is going to go out.
C: stockpile weapons such as: Firearms, Bladed weapons, and even common pocket knives. you never know...
D: Plant as many vegtables as possible in the yard. Also, make an outhouse. your plumbing is not going to work when the grid goes out. (make sure to keep the outhouse away from the growing foods, the ecoli may kill you before any zombie.
E: Never get comfortable. that will lead to death quicker than anything. always stay alert.
F: As stated in
Plan 1, always beware of the uninfected as well.
G: Do not contact family. Pray that their death was quick, for they are now a thing of the past. there is no family, there are no relationships. There is survival, and survival only.
H: If you live in a highly populated area, buy
EARPLUGS. the sound of wailing zombies, the shriek of survivors being torn appart, and the banging of undead fists against your walls will make you go insane. Block it out as much as possible.
I: Make sure that you always have an escape route no matter where you are. No matter how many slugs you have, no matter how many bolts are on the door, you are never safe, and they
will get you.

THE GOLDEN RULE
There is no surviving, there is only prolonging DEATH.
