The Good News: I won another giveaway!!! Two pairs of socks from AJH. I love socks!!!
My husband arrived in Florida on Monday where it is sunny and almost 80. Here in the NE, we are having a BIG snowstorm. Luckily my neighbors have promised to plow out my driveway. We may have a foot by the end of the day!!!
I played tennis last nite – 1 1/2 hours and no foot pain!!! (Can I run in tennis sneakers!?)
The Bad News: I ran my tapering 3 miles on the treadmill yesterday morning with my loose, barely tied new sneakers & my right foot STILL hurts. It stops hurting when I stop running so……….
Do I skip my last 3 mile run and rest my foot till Sunday?? Or do I follow my training plan (3 miles tomorrow) and grin and bear it??



Absolutely rest that foot.

I would rest. My foot got really, really bad before the Jingle Bell run so I rested all week. It was ridiculous and annoying to not be able to run but at least my foot didn’t feel like it was going to break with every step. You don’t need that feeling during your first half marathon!!!
Rest up and get ready to rock on Sunday!

Since you’re tapering go ahead and rest that foot – I didn’t run at all the week of my 1st marathon and I was fine. If you’ve already put in the long runs and hard work, you’ll probably be fine too. Good luck 🙂

Definitely rest! Missing one 3 mile run is not going to make or break your half marathon. You are more than ready! You have worked SO hard. Believe in your training! 🙂
