I'm so sorry, limewave! I know how bad it feels to have to scrap something you've worked so hard for. If it were me, I would probably try the doctor's suggestions for the half and then reassess. You may have to fudge some on the end of the training program, but you probably have enough of a base to get away with that. Maybe not the best advice in the world, but we runners seldom do what we *should*. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
