Dealing with a small injury issue and trying to remain calm. I won't go in to the details, but I had a small procedure this week on my foot that has put me out of commission for running this whole week. The WDW Half will be my first Half, and I'm working on increasing my mileage. I'm a run-walk Galloway person, and my goal for the half is just to finish and have a good time.
I put in an 8 mile run-walk followed by an almost 10 mile walk last week (plus a shorter weekday run-walk). I should be able to get in about a 6 mile training session this weekend, but I may have to walk the whole thing depending how my foot is doing. Aiming for doing 11 miles next weekend. My foot should be better by that time.
I think I'll still be okay for the Half, just feeling a little off kilter because I didn't get in my two weekday training runs this week.
I agree with PrincessV, I think you'll be find for the half! Just focus on resting up and getting better!Dealing with a small injury issue and trying to remain calm.

You are much better off missing a couple of runs to get "healed up" than just heading back out there and doing further damage. I would almost say forget the 6-miler this weekend and just pick up your plan again next week. A good training plan will have some down weeks built into it, so just call this your down weekDealing with a small injury issue and trying to remain calm.

The website says "2 weeks before the event" but that's the week of Christmas. My guess is mid-late next week or the week after.Soooo.... anyone care to guess on when the corrals will be posted?
I don't remember if it was posted here or on facebook, but there is an article that talks about this. It said that one of the common causes of "mysterious" sudden pains are the shoes, even when wearing the same old trusty model. Some manufacturers have changed the drop in their shoes between models without advertising it. That little change can be enough to cause pain. I know you said your shoes are the same model, but might be something worth looking in to!

At this point in the training I think a lot of us are nursing some form of injury or at a minimum some soreness or discomfort. It sounds like you have put in some good miles already and taking some time to rest is a good idea. I took last week off after my right knee started acting up and wasn't so sure about it at the time. However, I'm back into my training now and while my knee isn't 100% it is a million times better and I'm glad I took that time off. Just listen to your body and do what you can then you should be fine.

You still have plenty of time to get ready for the race...missing a couple of runs here and there won't totally derail the work you have already done.
No worries - it sounds like you've got a good base! I skip short runs as needed due to injuries or just plain exhaustion; I've never once regretted it and always feel better for taking the time to heal/rest/recover. If you can hit 10-12 miles again before the race, you should be in fine shape!
I looked back at last years thread and the waivers came out on dec 4th. So hopefully soon.
Any word on the shoes yet? They released the dooney and bourke bags but when will they release the shoe designs?
Great news!!!Just a quick update - I did a 13 mile run today with no cramping. During the run I took 2 salt stick caps and alternated between a Skratch hydration mix and Powerade Zero. Hopefully this is what I needed, but I'll get another test in a couple weeks when I try a 20 mile run.
Thanks everyone for the input!
