walking breaks during half/half?

But, I think there is an idea that if you run 26.2 miles but you walk for 1 minute out of every 11 you didn't really run a marathon...you ran/walked it...so... (ooooh I'm bitter about this! I just realized!).
I don't think so. I personally would not make that judgement. Plenty of people take unplanned walk breaks which might amount to the same total distance that you are walking (which isn't much, BTW). Would they say they ran/walked a marathon? Heck no. They ran that sucker. It takes a commitment to go the 26.2 mile distance, regardless of how you do it. Kudos to you for putting in the hard work and getting it done!

Dear jessspurr, I agree with lporter. Kudos to you. You are gittin' her done!
It occurs to me that I always used to stop and walk a bit in the middle of my training runs. I used to run hills and I would run to the top of the hill, and then walk part of the way down. Even on my flat runs, I would run out, stop, get water, maybe walk a bit, run back. I do think it allowed me to work harder.0 -
I walk through water stations, only because I end up waterboarding myself if I don't.0
