Walked my second 1/2

[kwnancy]

Just had to share ...

I walked my 1st 1/2 Marathon in December (West Palm Beach) my time was 3:25:54 and yesterday walked my second (1/2 Shell 1/2 Marathon, Key West) and I was the only walker. My time was..... drum roll please.....
3:11:38!!!!!

I'm going to register today for WDW Marathon. I can do it!

OH YES! YOU CAN SO DO IT!
A big congrats on your PR. You will be flying at WDW b/c it is such a FUN race.

My son and I are thinking of doing the 1/2 Marathon next year. Can you really WALK this thing? Is that allowed?

kwnancy- great job on the PR!!! Of course you can do the WDW marathon!!!

denise-of course you can walk. There is a minimum pace you must keep, but many people walk, as you will find from reading these boards.

I have walked the Goofy the last 2 years:

2006 3:05 & 6:32 Freezing(and went out too hard for the 1/2)
2007 3:21 & 6:58 Hot!(went slow for 1/2 on purpose, wife hurt foot last 10 miles of the full and could hardly run/walk at all) Still can't walk normally 4 weeks later!

My goals for 08 are 3:20 & 6:45 leaving plenty of time to make the cuts. If I remember correctly you don't get cut after mile 10 & mile 20 per each race respectively.

Before having both Achilles operated on(and loss of all my speed and training ability), I walked the 1996 WDW Marathon in 5:09

WOW! I think deep, deep in my heart I want to do this some year.

Has anyone ever done the Portland Marathon? Early October in Oregon? I'm getting excited about this one as well.

 

[ultramickeymouse]

I did Portland for 6 straight years(92-97). 1992 Portland was my first marathon. Great course and support. It just seems like yesterday! Except all the other 80+ marathons/Ultramarathons I did after it.

You will enjoy it!

Congratulations on the improving times!!
