I have walked two marathons for charity. It was a wonderful experience. Large charitable organization who sponsor this type of training break down the training for you, and you train along side others.

I made some good friends training. Trust me, after all the walking we did, we learned things about each other that we hadn't even shared with close friends and family. I did both marathons at large high-profile marathons, so I ended up meeting other walkers and runners from across the globe. More than anything though, if you can't sort something out in your mind in 26.2 miles, I don't know that it can be sorted out.

Wonderful stress reliever and confidence builder.

Thanks MovedOn.

If you don't mind me asking, when you said that you couldn't walk, can you not walk at all or just not the long-distance walking? Sorry if I am being nosey.

Since my daughter was born, I can't run, or sneeze, etc. I wanted to run a marathon, but my body just won't let me do that.
