Let the games begin!!!

Oh my goodness...what have I gotten myself into?
  We've signed up for a relay race in May!! 
Each person does 4.2 miles.....So I have 18 weeks from today.
I've been doing some research and it looks like you should plan on anywhere from 8-10 weeks for training.  So I figure that gives me 6-8 weeks for pre-training....
Pre-training? I'm sure there's a better word.  Conditioning?
Ya, we'll go with Conditioning.
So tomorrow will be my first day of conditioning to get prepared for training.
I have about 8 weeks before I start my "training".  Starting my walking tomorrow.

Goal for March6th - walk - at a good pace - 4 miles with no problems.
I think if I can reach this goal in 8weeks, from literally sitting on the couch to walking 4miles, then I should be more than ready to start the training program.

I'm really nervous about this.  I hope my knees can keep up with my plans for them.
I'm going to look into excercises/strength training for my knees.

Still haven't gotten to check out the new gym.  Have to do that next week!!!
