I never , ever stop and walk during a run. It's against the rules. Now, I find myself the run/walk queen. How bad is this? Will it ruin my running? Should I just stop until I can go back to running full time?

I'll have to agree with everyone else in that some exercise is always better than none, even if it's not at the intensity you're used to. Amusing aside, as I was reading your post, the phrase "The Big D" threw me. I've always read phrasing "The Big 'Letter'" to refer to some type of disease you'd be afflicted with (ie The Big C = cancer, The Big A = AIDS, etc) So, I'm sitting here trying to figure out what "The Big D" would refer to. Well, after more thought than I'd like to admit to, the best I could come up with was diarrhea. So I'm reading the rest of your post with the mindset that you've a wicked case diarrhea. You can imagine how impressed I was to read that you ran/walked 4 MILES whilst being afflicted with "The Big D". And here I thought running in the rain was hardcore. My original advice was going to be take a few days off and stay near a bathroom. But now, I'll just point out that "hey, at least you don't have diarrhea".
Jazz hands!

I'm having some big issues at home ( the big D') and suddenly find myself unable to run. I go out for a simple run, and stop for no reason. Then start walking. It's like I'm too lethargic to run. I never , ever stop and walk during a run. It's against the rules. Now, I find myself the run/walk queen. How bad is this? Will it ruin my running? Should I just stop until I can go back to running full time? Yesterday I went out for a simple 4 miler, and ended up walking about 40% of it.
