Walking is absolutely acceptable. As a walker (or slower runner like myself) it's good practice to stick to the right side (just like the slow lane on the freeway ; ) especially if the course narrows, to keep lanes open for runners or those trying to PR. Have a great half marathon!

Welcome... that's a great attitude to have! And you're right about adding friends on here making it more effective. I've found that it really makes a difference to have more active friends that login on a consistent basis and post. Good luck!

If you're open to dads (not just moms) with 40lbs to lose you can add me. Just getting re-started and looking to take it off and keep it off for good and to friend folks along the way in the same boat as far as # of pounds to lose. If we start now and stick with it, we should be at our goals anywhere between January to…
