Where did it hurt exactly? Be smart coming back--it looks like you are. Like you said, you have a lot of history running and miles behind you--you're not going to lose that in a week. Just baby it for a little while and know it takes 2 weeks of no activity before you start losing fitness. Since you are running some and cross training, you aren't losing anything. After 5 or so days of pain free running, then you can start to test it a bit. Depending on where the foot is sore, you should try running on soft surfaces and on even ground. I'd stay off hills too for a few days. Your training has gone great up until now--you are doing specific work to get faster for the first time. You have come farther than you know already and this will be evident in the half if you get there healthy. How is the foot thing? Where did it hurt exactly?
