Did You Just Finish a Marathon or Half Marathon?
Monday November 2, 2009
Congratulations to all finishers! My walking buddies and I think it's essential to share our experience after a marathon or half marathon. Nobody walks or runs the same race. Come tell us about how you trained, how you performed, and what you learned, and even share a picture.
Tell Us Your Marathon Story
Tell Us Your Half Marathon Story
After the marathon or half marathon, you need to take care of yourself. Marathon and Half Marathon Recovery: from the finish through the first day, week, and how to keep training for the next one.

Hi Wendy – I’m loving your daily walking facts and information! Did you see the story in Sunday’s NYTimes about the Brooklyn man who walked around his block 70+ times to log a walking marathon? I’m posting it on my blog on Wednesday. I hope you’ll check me out at http://www.mybigwalk.wordpress.com.

Laurie…I liked your pics. I just cracked me one off.
I recently finished my first half marathon, the Triple Lakes Trail Race in Greensboro, NC. The race staff was very friendly and they created a terrific atmosphere. However, long distance trail walking isn’t for me. I plan on completing half marathons, and maybe even a marathon, in the future, but I will stick to nice hard surface roads for those. I still enjoy walking on trails, but only a couple miles at a time.
