Hello everyone!
I really need your advice! I am signed up to run the Rebel Challenge in January, but due to health reasons will be unable to complete this race. (I am having major surgery in December so it's completely out of the question). I now have the opportunity to run the Infinity Gauntlet challenge in November. The problem is....I am not ready. Because I wasn't feeling well, I haven't been training/running. Over the past few months, I have run a few times, but definitely not prepared enough. I ran the Glass Slipper Challenge in February and completed it with no problems. What I'm wondering is...can I start training now, and get in a few "long runs" (maybe 6 and 8 miles) and do the Avengers half? Is it possible? I would really like to earn my Coast to Coast medal. My health issues will not be affected by running, in any way. I am thinking I could try and just walk as much as needed but maybe this is a bad idea? I could walk the 10k and then take the half very slowly???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
THanks!
