Tony and I will be walking in the OKC Memorial Marathon in one month. Yep, it's only one month away. Do I think we are ready? Heck no!!! In fact, I am extremely worried about if we'll be able to finish.
The distance of a marathon is 26.2 miles. The standard start time is 6:30 am, however, the course only stays open for 6 hours. So, for the walkers and runners who do not think they can finish in 6 hours, a 4:30 am start is available. So, we will be starting at 4:30am, since we are positive we CANNOT do it in 6 hours. We are shooting for 8, which would mean we need to walk a pace just a little quicker then 3mph. This doesn't sound too fast right? My concern is if we can do it for 8 hours straight.
We are definitely going to give this the 'old college try' and do the best that we can. I just hope we are still physically able to move the next day. I would love to see everyone at the finish line when we do cross it. We are expecting that time to be between 12:30 and 1, so come on down if you wanna laugh at how tired we are.
