Several years ago I walked the Honolulu Marathon.I wanted to be fit, and knew this would force me to walk every day plus the longer training sessions on Saturday with the team.I was proud that I accomplished this, even though I was not the fastest walker.The added benefit of training for the marathon was that I was healthy, and did not get a cold for several years afterwards, as I kept up the walking 6 days a week.Since I don’t walk much anymore due to other health issues, I caught a cold, which lasted for two months.
I never thought of walking a marathon! My husband would love this -- he likes crazy long distances. A cold that lasted for 2 months... that's brutal. I hope you are feeling better. Are you able to walk at all now?
