I'm touching your pants.
I wouldn't line up with the Galloway group unless you plan to walk. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if they are trying to average 9 min. miles, then the run section would be a bit faster to make up for the walking. Plus, if you start out with them and they all start to walk after however many minutes, what are you going to do? Keep running? You might as well run your own race. I agree with the others that starting out easy is the way to go. You can always speed up if you feel good. I've run races both ways and it's much better to be passing people at the end.
Now any suggestions for my RA handle if I finish my Half Marathon. This was a goal when I started running a couple of years ago. Yes I take my time getting somewhere
