Cyndi,
This was my first athletic competition also (since high school). I am 47. See my posting (first marathon). I also walked it and had a fantastic time. Hope to see you next year!
Congratulations on your achievement!!!!!!!
I am signed up to walk the Philadelphia marathon next month. Hope this is the start of many other marathons for you also!

: this is my first ever athletic competition.
: Growing up, I was awkward and slow and
: always the last person picked for teams in
: gym class, not that I could blame them!
: Walking is something I enjoy and can do for
: many years to come. I especially
: appreciated all the runners who gave words
: of encouragement as they passed me on the
: trail. The local people were also so
: welcoming at us marathoners invading their
: space. Thanks again to all of you! Hope to
: see you again, this time with another walker
