A MARATHON STORY
Contributed by Keith, Israel
I had open-heart (triple bypass) surgery some years back, and felt that I needed to lose some weight. Exercise seemed easier that dieting (I have enough problems watching my cholesterol, salt, sugar, etc.), so we started walking - half an hour every day.
I got the marathon "bug" after reading stories from other marathoners on these e-mail groups, and decided that this would be a target for my 55th birthday. Sunday, March 4 was the big day, and here is our story.
MARATHON WALKING
So you want to walk a marathon! In a recent poll 70% of walkers surveryed stated a desire to train for and participate in a marathon or distance walking event. 18% of those polled have previously walked in a marathon, and most of those would like to do it again some day. Visit our Marathon Walking Site for information on marathons, marathon training, etc.
