I'm training to walk a 1/2 marathon in November. I've done it before and I'm looking to increase my speed. I'd like to get down to a 15-minute pace from an original 15:40 mile pace. Anybody interested in being my virtual walking buddy? We can keep each other motivated even if we can't walk together.

    I'm not even close to there yet but I am walking 5K's right now. I wanted to do a half but didn't think you could walk it. I will be happy to "train" with you. right now I am at a 20 min mile and trying to get it down from there. Add me if you want a buddy. I will encourage you if nothing else. I am a great cheerleader!

    I walked my first 5K last month - had a 15:41 pace. I'd like to build up to be able to walk a half marathon within the next 6-8 months. Where's your November half at?
