Although the weekend proved to be a GREAT walking weekend for me, I must admit that by the time I was finished, it was "slow going". Did a nice 6 mile walk on Saturday and a recovery walk of 2.5 miles on Sunday, which proved to be a great walk with a split time of 16:16. My goal by the end of year is to be able to do a 16 minute mile, which is a requirement in order to compete in the Disney 1/2 Marathon. If you can't keep the pace, the "SCOOPS", as they are lovingly called, pick you up and drive you to the finish line.
Although this sounds like the easy way to get there, it means no official ending time and no medal. The medal is a badge of honor and is proudly worn for the rest of your Disney World stay. Going to the parks with this "badge" hanging around your neck, makes you feel very proud of your accomplishment.
My son has to take about 6 weeks off from training after some surgery, but he's already doing great with his time and after this "break" I'm sure he'll be working on endurance.
As the little turtle says...
