Walked half-marathon in Las Vegas

[DebbyA]

My husband, a friend and I walked the half-marathon at the Rock'n'roll Las Vegas event. I was at the end of about every category, but finished on time and without injury.
I've never done anything like this before.

Debby, that is amazing. Congratulations! I hope that someday I'm able to do that too.

Congratulations!
I walked in my first 5K event this past summer and was pretty pleased with myself.
I'd be REAL pleased if I'd walked a half marathon!

Congratulations Debby, doesn't matter where you finish, the fact that you did it is what's important. Well done.

It doesn't matter how slowly you go, you've still lapped the person sitting on the couch!

What's your next event?

good stuff Debby, keep at it.

Never too old to start on a fitness regime! I do recommend more frequent and careful training. You simply don't want any injury, as that's a setback.

well done!

Pellicle--I didn't mean I never exercise, just never participated in an event. We followed the 14-week training program based on Hal Higdon's--our friend has used it successfully quite a few times.

Everyone, thank you!

That's a great accomplishment, congratulations on finishing. It doesn't matter if you're first or last, you were out there, you did it and as I always say "I finished Vertically". Just don't stop walking now, it's very important to keep on moving at any pace or any distance. Personally, it has taken me somewhere between 5 & 6 years to quit being angry with myself for being slower than I used to be, but I accept it now, abeit a little grudingly.
