By the way, not all walkers are "penguins"; one can walk hard enough to make yourself puke in the finish chute. :-)

My bio: I started walking due to a running related achilles injury. Since then I've walked 2 marathons (4:44 Quad Cities and 5:17 Park City) as well as two 50K's (Fairfield, Iowa 6:22 and Ice Age (Wisconsin) 7:18)

Message:	-------------------- ollie's original posting: For those who are interested in WALKING a marathon (or in marathon walking in general) I highly recommend the yahoo e-mail group: marathonwalkers. One way to find it is to dump the phrase "thewalkingsite" into your favorite search engine. There you'll find information on "walker friendly marathons" (long time limits) and the like.
