I did my second 12 K yesterday. It is a challenging course! I did it last year and was not prepared and walked more than I wanted. This year I only walked briefly while drinking at the 3 water stations; maybe 30 seconds three times.My time was 1 hour and thirty two minutes, ten minutes better than last year. I felt good running and the weather was perfect in the low 70's. I passed my pacer person at the very end! She kept passing me on the flat portions then I would pass her on the hills. It was fun and I am anxious for next year to do even better!

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

I may be, tell me some more about it or the website. My husband might even do it with me. We have been looking for a 5 K to do together. He has had some injuries and cannot do more tham a 5 K right now.
Thanks!

I did the Sound 2 Narrows 5K this weekend and loved it! I've done events but this was my first timed one. I'd love to know more about the Hot Foot and shave off some time off! And of course to see firefighters... LOL. Please PM me with details.

That is really great!   Sounds like a great place to run.  Good job on beating your previous time.  Sounds like it getting into your system.
