10k on Saturday, haven't run in 2 weeks

[Deleted]

Tell me I'll be OK  

I have to run slow for, you know, reasons, and I can totally walk. Obvi it won't be a PR. But I've not even put on running shoes in over 2 weeks. I'll run a few miles on, say, Wednesday and wing it.

I'll be OK, right?!

Didn't you run a half recently? You'll be fine.

Man that feels like a year ago. It was just under a month ago.

You'll be totally fine. You are trained and healthy. Consider it a looong taper.

[emuni04]

You'll be fine! Good luck!

[jene]

Totally fine!

[mrshandy]

You'll be fine!

[Mushe]

You'll be fine! I wasn't able to do it when I was pg, but plan to do it next time - go Garminless and just follow your body's cues.

Do run/walk intervals if you don't want to run it. Walking the whole think seems like it might get boring. But either way, you can totally do this fitness-wise!

I ran a 10k after I hadn't run in months. You'll be fine.

[shelbyann]

Walk if you need to, you will be fine! Have fun!

[G22]

I agree, you got this!

[hannahb]

What others have said. Walk if you need to. Good luck!

This is really smart. Thank you!

[trigal]

You'll be okay! Just have fun with it!

[shauni27]

just enjoy yourself! Do a walk/run combo and listen to your body. Just enjoy being out there

Update - I DNS'd. My first. I'm OK with it, it was a hot morning, the course is mostly uphill and I had a major panic attack about it last night. Just not worth it to me to stress that much. Instead I spectated with my BFF as our husbands ran, got my post-race ice cream and now I'm going to nap.

[gt7301b]

Big hugs, at least you got ice cream!!

[runblondie26]

There will be more @sessalee. Why bother racing of you're going to enjoy the experience. Sounds like you made the right choice.

[cinco]

I've DNS a few times, including b/c of pregnancy (one was a warrior dash, yeah not my idea of fun pregnant) Ice cream is a wonderful substitute

[trigal]

At least you got ice cream! And let's face it. That's all we really want anyway, right?

[Mushe]

Don't worry about it! Glad you put yourself first. And got ice cream.

When do you have your first appt, or did you already have it?

I had it Thursday, we saw a baby with a heartbeat and everything! Measuring 7w1d (on thursday) and everything looks good. 

I'm completely exhausted but mostly spared of morning sickness thus far.

Awesome news! I was mostly just exhausted at that point too, but I hope you're spared from morning sickness.

I am just totally wiped. I took a 2 hour nap, and I could go to bed right now. H has been great and very understanding at least.
