I don't think there's anything worse at this point that being forced to not run. I jogged really slowly today for a couple miles just to go out and clear my head. It felt wonderful but I was fatigued at the end..so I know that I need to keep taking it slow the next week or so. I'm starting training for my half in September on the 18th though..so essentially I am taking one more week of recovery and then slowly getting back into training. Had I run more of the marathon I'd take more time off, but I really feel like I will be fine seeing as how I did more walking than running this year.
My goal is to try and finish the half on September 30th at around a 2:45:00. I'll take a couple weeks off and then start training again for the Disney half in January. Once I've run that I am taking a month to just run for the fun of it before starting training again in February for the RNR next year on June 1st. I've got a couple races planned in there (Martian 10k in April and Flying Pig Half in May), but those will fit in just fine with my training plan for the marathon so I'm not worried about them. The RNR next year will also be a fun one because I'll be DONE WITH SCHOOL! The trick will be not applying for a job while I'm out there. I think part of the funk I'm in is that I want to be back in CA! ;)
