Just signed up for Cow Harbor and I think I'm going to poop my pants.
I AM NOT A RUNNER BY ANY MEANS, but I figured it would be fun to see how I do. I'm scared because I've heard some real horror stories. I know I will definitely just take it slow and steady. Any advice would be appreciated. I plan on doing the course as much as possible within the next few weeks.
Wish me luck!!

It's a hilly course. One real steep one but it's actually not a long one. There are more gradual ones that are worse.
There are all kinds of people who run that race so don't think you'll be the worst.

Thanks everyone. I attempted the course this morning and didn't get very far strictly running. I'm a fast walker so I'll definitely be alternating.

I like hills better than flats so I love hilly courses! If you know how to run/walk hills properly, you'll end up passing other racers on hills  Have fun!

Take quick (high turnover of your feet) baby steps and make sure you are leaning slightly forward at your ankles. You don't want to be hunched over but want your body to be leaning in a bit. The biggest part is the baby steps though--you want your strides super short.
