Sound to Narrows

I have never considered myself a runner, but one crazy afternoon I got the awesome idea (with some encouragement from a friend) that I should run the Sound to Narrows. I quickly signed up before I changed my mind and figured it would force me to train for it! I have been completely surprised at how much I have actually enjoyed training for this race. I have had a couple hard (discouraging) runs, but I have found a good pace and have actually started looking forward to my runs! Today I set a personal record for farthest distance I have ever ran before, 5 miles (thats a lot fir this "non runner") with several "doosy" hills! Feeling confident that I will be ready for the 12k (7.46miles) coming in just 6 weeks!
