Woke up and my first steps were painful. I guess my foot hasn't healed as much as I'd hoped. Iced the foot and did ankle and foot PT exercises. I rode the bike hard for an hour.

Afternoon I loaded up on advil and did a short run but about 2 x .5 miles at a good clip. 3.5 total miles. More ice and rehab exercises. Not feeling good about the 1/2, I know I could run it but don't believe it's too smart and my confidence is low due to a poor training cycle. Will be pondering this for a couple days.

ACorn,

Hi.

I am sorry to hear you may have to miss the half marathon.

I just failed to run a race today because I injured my back yesterday. Hoping I am not going to miss my ultra in two weeks.

And you probably could run the half marathon - I guess the question would be this...what would be the reasons to run it? If it is to do the half in 1:14 and you are thinking given the injury and the compromised training, that will not happen, yep, put it off.

Hope the injury resolves!

Say hello to your Mom and Jing for me.

Acorn, you're a chancer:) Take it from an old fella, you can't dupe a woman. All this sore foot nonsense - she's not buying into it. As soon as you're hitched, you've had it, you're done for: 'fix this, cut that, clean those.' And it goes on and on until the day you die. Run now before your feet are shackled:) Nervous?

You'll make the right decision.. Lots to think about.
