Any Walkers interested in getting together for tune up walks from the 2nd thru the 5t

Erica and I will be doing morning stay loose and stay tuned walks next week. Any walkers getting together for walks? We are budding racewalkers and we go at Erica's pace of 13.5 to 14 min per mile. We would be glad to go a bit slower or faster to share walks with others.

Anyone interested in sharing walking techniques. We aren't pros since we just started racewalking this year. We have come a long way but still lots to learn about the sport of walking.

We are a husband and wife team in our fifties. Love Disney and come here every year now.

Hi Dave,

I'm not a race walker, but I couldn't help be be curious to read abour your adventure. I look forward to hearing from others that might be posting here.

I see you will be at the event in a couple of days. If you get a moment, stop over to the walking/running thread to say hi to all before we leave. Maybe you could also join us Friday for our meet up at the Pop Century Food Court. I'd love to say hi and learn about your upcoming race calendar. I've always thought that Flying Pig sounded interesting.

Thanks for responding, we plan to go and meet everyone. We post on a walking site and there will be some from there also.

We have a nice schedule planned for the 2007 year, my big event is the Senior olympics which will be held in Louisville Ky this year. National Senior olympics are held every two years in a different state each time. The State games are the trials and you have to qualify at state level to advance to the national level. I will be competing in the 1500m and the 5K events.

Erica is hoping to qualify next year for the nationals also. We have been long time runners but frequent injuries made us switch to a less injury prone sport.
