If any of you have any suggestions, I need to find something in the Columbus, Ohio area... There are tons of running groups, but most of the stuff I find for walking is geared more toward hiking and sightseeing... I need to train for distance and speed (still walking)... LOL

Just finished a 1/4 marathon last weekend and my pace was 16:39/minute mile. I want to walk under 3:30 for the 1/2 so I need to pace at least a 16 minute mile, hopefully better. I have no one who will walk the distances necessary to adequately prepare for that distance. *sigh*

I can follow a basic training plan on paper, but it's easier to keep motivated if I have someone there as well. Misery, ah, I mean training, LOVES company! :laugh:
