After a few days of taking it easy I would definately start cross training again and keep the running to a minimum. I'm sure you will still rock your half! You've worked so hard and you're so motivating :)Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666505868820815908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781565329497466782.post-12262646660227073282011-05-24T08:12:09.982-07:002011-05-24T08:12:09.982-07:00Oh no!

I didn't PR or anything, but I ran it.<br /><br />A lot of people taper for 2 weeks, so I think you'll be totally fine with some shorter runs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781565329497466782.post-20553408924804381252011-05-23T09:43:14.959-07:002011-05-23T09:43:14.959-07:00Kara - I was at the beach this weekend, & the ...Kara - I was at the beach this weekend, & the sidewalks have rolling edges? Not sure how to describe it. My right foot was just a little too far to the right, & it rolled & I fell over. Sucked. :-( I've sprained this ankle twice before (playing volleyball), but not in a *long* time.Running Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773459567812986141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781565329497466782.post-53040448151141792662011-05-23T09:37:26.115-07:002011-05-23T09:37:26.115-07:00You should be fine to run the half even if you don...You should be fine to run the half even if you don't run between now and then.
