Walking isn't cheating and don't ever let anyone tell you it is. I've done 10 marathons, and I walked my last one. Why? Cause I'd already run Maui and Oklahoma City Memorial and decided to take a trip to Coeur d'Alene ID. Didn't feel like running three marathons in less then three months and they had the walker division. SO I walked. ANd guess what! I ended up taking running breaks in my walking cause my legs were getting tired. It's the same distance, if you walk or run. Good luck on the 14th. I hope you have good race.
