Hi...I'm new!!

Hi all! I'm new to this board. I usually post on the June board or the California board. I'm interested in starting to train to walk a half marathon. I could use any imput you guys can give. Sounds like you all are setting some wonderful goals for yourselves during the month of February. I'd like to join in if you don't mind. Has anyone done any type of long walk, such as a 5k or 1/2 marathon before? This would be an unbelievable hurdle since I can't walk more than 3 miles at a time right now. Have a great night! Kerri

Welcome! We all are new to this board, so you will fit right in! About.com has an email training guide for 1/2 marathons. You can sign up for it here: http://walking.about.com/c/ec/6.htm I am training to walk in a 5.5 mile March of Dimes Walk America in April. When I had surgery 8 months ago, I couldn't walk a 1/4 mile. Now, I can walk 6! I'm really excited. So set a goal and start posting your walks! You will be walking a marathon before you know it! Seven
