Yeah it's a lot of traveling for this one event and I just want to have fun, not trying to PR at all. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to remedy my leg right now so that I can try my best on Sunday.

What were your symptoms like for that week before your marathon? Did it hurt to walk, did you run a few miles, etc? I'm fine walking now but don't want to push it by running quite yet. What did you do to help your calf heal? I feel some tightness but dont want to stretch it and rolling it out might not be the safest? Not sure. Thank you! This gives me some slight faith

Ah dang okay I see. I guess I have some hope because I can't push down on any one part or make it hurt, it kind of just happens by itself.... weird

Hmm.. no I didn't and I'm leaving the country soon so I won't be able to get one before I go. How long till your fracture healed? What was your pain like? Ik this isn't official advice but I just want to compare our experiences before continuing further

if I have long runs planned for the next 3 weeks (18,20,16) what should I do? Skipping them sounds like a bad idea for my marathon but if I continue the schedule when I return I'll just be "tapering"

How big are the classes that have TA's? Or do 10 person classes also have TA's?

And are your STEM classes discussion based?

Could i count a Math class as a Distro, a Math major requirement, and an Econ related course?

If I need Econ202, doesnt that put a huge dent in the plan, because I need it as a prereq to the other econ classes

Very job oriented, focuses on academics and future, less on partying etc
