This May, my best friend and I will be running at mudderella, the only problem is... I'm extremely out of shape. Oops. Any tips on how to get from couch potato to mudderella ready?

You'll need cardio shape, strength shape, and power shape.
Plyometrics would take care of strength for awhile and power nature. Might pick one from each section you can do. Every month switch it up.

Cardio, go walk hills for as long as the event may be.
When you can jog a little, jog the flats on tops and valleys.
When you can jog more, jog the hill up and walk everything else.
When you can jog even better, sprint the hills.
You can do the cardio 2 x weekly, plyo 2 x weekly. You'll need rest day after the plyo if doing it right. Walking only would be good for blood flow then.
