Hello all. I read the article about the drills, thank you for sharing. I'm going to try and incorporate some of these and see how I do. I definitely don't have the option on adding in jogging at this point as that is how I screwed up my knee last September and ended up NOT being able to do the half last January.
Doc basically said that I would NEVER be able to run...but I don't believe him. I think it's more like I will not be able to run until I get some significant weight off...which I'm working on but that will be a LONG process...
Planning an 18 for Sunday, will see how I do...It is supposed to rain though, really hoping I can get outside to do it, but I don't think walking for 5 - 6 hours in the rain would be my smartest move a month before the marathon, so I may end up doing some of it on the treadmill yuck.
Have a great night!

Perfecting your walking technique, in my opinion, will benefit you far more than trying to jog any time soon. I was out today and watched others slow down to a slow and awkward walking stride when they came off their run during their Galloway run/walk plan. If they only took time to really improve their walking, they could be much faster at a lower risk of injury.
Stay true to your plan and the rewards will follow.
