Tri Rule #1 of Triathlon Training/Racing - If Momma ain't happy nobody is happy
I'm not nearly experienced as anyone else on here (I'm only 13) but I ave a question.
Champions are made when no one is watching
I've just joined this site, and it looks pretty cool. I'm not nearly experienced as anyone else on here (I'm only 13) but I ave a question. I recently sprained both of my ankles and broke two toes. I have track tryouts this week, and I'm training for a half marathon. Is it okay to keep running? It hurts when I do, but I really need to try out- it's my last year of middle school track! Any thoughts or advice? Thanks.

Listen to the above posters. What I really want to know is why he has to try out for the middle school track team? Is this common practice. Track was always as many as we can get at my schools, even at the high school level.
The doctor told me to stay off of my feet for a couple of weeks, but I can't do that- I have a dance competition this weekend. So I figured I might as well run while I'm at it. :
Not to sound like a jerk, but doctors make the big bucks because they know what they're talking about. If you want to run well, then listening to your doctor's advice is your best bet in order to avoid injury.

Thanks for all of the opinions! A lot of people are trying out this year. We just got a brand new school- it is the first year being open, so we're not going to many meets. My coach wants to weed out the people who don't care about running or aren't going to try.
