Listen at me - boohoo, I can't run more than 16 miles without pain! :) It will all be fine - I'll run the race and listen to my body and give it what it wants and all will be fine. And if I walk, I walk - hey, dressed as Tinkerbell, maybe I'll fly! :)Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934176006773916798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157133872492308903.post-46404881201477961012010-12-19T18:41:37.118-08:002010-12-19T18:41:37.118-08:00I totally wish they would let you move to the half...I totally wish they would let you move to the half. That's a bummer, Disney! ;) BUT I think you have a good solid plan and it seems like it would be doable. As someone else said...YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR! Finishing is what matters even if you have to walk. But seriously, do not injure yourself further.... I wanna keep you as a running buddy. :)kimerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908561354210742485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157133872492308903.post-91878218434988856622010-12-19T17:11:01.575-08:002010-12-19T17:11:01.575-08:00Listen to you bemoaning a 10-12 mile race...you...Listen to you bemoaning a 10-12 mile race...you're a rockstar in my books!

Also, my first marathon in May, they will also not allow changes to the half.

Maybe 3-4 minutes per mile? See, I'm bargaining again!<br /><br />MM, it is important to me - I hope I'm not making a mistake.<br /><br />Leah, it is silly, isn't it? It is my own fault, though - I could have signed up for the half, couldn't I? I'll look into the KT tape.

It seems silly that you can't switch to the half. I've never dealt with back issues, but my friend has. She has gotten relief with KT Tape. I don't know if it would help your facet injury, but it's worth a shot.Leah Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080296620566428888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157133872492308903.post-37433632183316398382010-12-19T08:33:37.994-08:002010-12-19T08:33:37.994-08:00i think that you have a solid plan. obviously doin...i think that you have a solid plan. obviously doing this race is way important to you but you can also see how pushing it too hard might not be the best thing for your back. as long as you have the willpower to stick with it you should be a-okay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157133872492308903.post-73957397794159209752010-12-19T08:15:22.399-08:002010-12-19T08:15:22.399-08:00For my four marathons, I went with the Galloway me...For my four marathons, I went with the Galloway method of walking for a minute at each mile. During my last marathon (a year ago this month!) I did some stretches during that minute - raising my arms above my head and breathing deeply, walking sideways (on both sides) at one point, even walking backwards for a few seconds. It really helped break up the race, and I wasn't unbearably sore after the race. <br /><br />Good luck!!jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902474020422194392noreply@blogger.com
