Looking for some advice, or at least words of encouragement. I started running last April with the Star Wars half as my goal. Training was going great, and I completed a 10K in the fall with a 13'50" pace. In early December, I went to the ER with a bad case of appendicitis. It was so bad they didn't remove it as they wanted to treat the inflammation and infection and avoid a more invasive surgery. There have been a couple complications along the way, and things are finally looking good, and I have surgery scheduled on February 10th. If everything goes well and there aren't any more surprises I should be cleared to start running again in early/mid-march giving me 5 or 6 weeks to get back to training. The only upside is I've lost a good bit of weight and will probably lose some more during recovery, which hopefully translates to being lighter on my feet when I get back to running. Even with that, there isn't a lot of time to get back into shape for running. I'm planning on doing run/walk intervals and obviously don't care about my time (or photo ops), just trying to hopefully finish. Any suggestions on a shortened training plan to get back into shape in a short amount of time? Does it sound foolish to think I still might be able to finish this thing after all of this? Thanks!
