Preparation for the Sound to Narrows 2014!

Today is day one of my preparation for - drumroll please - the Sound to Narrows.
For those of you that don’t live in the Puget Sound area, the Sound to Narrows consists of a 12k or 5k run/walk, 5k youth run, 2k Junior Shuffle, and even a 20-yard Diaper Dash for the tots. 
I would’ve never thought to attempt a race of such magnitude considering both my knees are rubbish and I run like a sea lion, but I figured it’s nothing I would’ve ever considered doing, so why not do it? If it weren’t for my aunt who asked me to join her in next year’s S2N, I wouldn’t have realized there was a walking option. I need to work on my endurance and generally get back into shape, but it’s a fantastic opportunity and challenge - and I have a year to prepare for it! Wish me luck?
