Comments:

I got a number at the last minute, so I decided to ask a friend if she wanted to walk with me--she's just getting back into working out, and she's really not a runner. I'm not unhappy with the time considering we walked almost the entire time, played in the water, stopped for a bathroom break, got a free slice of pizza and some watermelon. :o)
What would you do differently?:

Try to get my friend to run a little more...

Warm down:

Walked with the masses to get my shirt then to the "S" balloon to find the family. Then walked another 2+ miles to MARTA only to not even be able to get on platform. Decided to go south one exit to hop on the empty train so we could at least sit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Non-runner friend + lack of training

Event comments:

I had a blast walking in my 1st Peachtree RR. Maybe I'll get my friend to walk more next year. I basically just used it as a training walk for the 2-Day.
